I'm looking for better traction on my car I have Advan gts with MPSS tires , they just don't hook up well with 900hp what else is better and worth the $ , still want to street / track the car and have it ride good

R888 if 20" and M&H if 18". I have both and primarily just use the 20's.

You will still blow through first gear if your trying to launch above 2800 on the street with just a small amount of BOTL. That's a pretty sweet spot for the street too, vbox has shown 9.6 @ 153.

2800 LC

- some spin and clutch slip in 2nd
9.6 @ 151

3800 LC

- blows them off and gets some hop into limp mode

Where are you having traction issues? Drag strip? Road coarse? Highway?

It's really hard to strike a balance...each has +/-'s. And...the surface you are on can play a huge role too. 888's are probably your most neutral bet.

My car is fish tail happy and brakes loose 1-3 a lot on street

I'd say 18's with DRs all around. But if you're insisting on riding on 20s, then go with R888.

18 inch rim with M&H all around.

I like my 20s

That burns clutches and you will find out the repercussions of that shortly(if you haven't already), and your 20s are the reason you cook tire through 3 gears. In my experience anything close to the 1000 hp mark or above will need a much stickier tire then the r888 to actually use that power. So I say once again 18 with a M&H and you will be hooking up much better, I run them with 1300 whp on the street and track and I get awesome traction for the most part.

I have been running my R888's for several thousand miles with zero issues and they hold 1100 awhp very good. BTW, I run the 285/315 combo.

 

[M O N S T E R]

R888 is a good alternative. And the only good option, if you're running 20's.

Best option is running 18's on drag radials.

It all depends on what kind of racing you do. If it involves turns, I'd stick to the R888.

Man this is hard choice,,, r888 people say are unbearable noise daly driving and don't know about the Nt-01s

 

[909]

The noise is why I'm still on mpss.... I'm afraid the noise would kill me. That and I can't come to terms with having 315s on my car instead of 335s.

The 315 r888 hook no problem on fbo e85. To be honest I can't hear the noise over my cat less downpipes and midpipe

I will try nt01 285/35/20 and Pirelli corsa 335/30/20! That way keep the width and road course compound.

I trust your advice sadly I was gonna try to use r888s

If oyur car is making 900whp, the noise it is creating will likely be louder than the R888. There is a lot of road and mechanical noise to begin with on these cars.

Tried the NT01R ... it sucked

Don't get me wrong ... the R888 is one of the best tires I have been on, but when stacked up against a 18 inch rim + drag radial, there is no comparison ... the latter is far superior
