What is the intended use for the tires? Do you mean traction in a straight line for drag racing, traction for the sideways forces in a corner, or a combination of both (running on a road course)? I have used 2 of the 3 tires you mention so I do have some opinions.

888's are probably the best of the choices you mentioned if you can put up with a good bit of road noise. Nitto's not real quiet either. 888's will be the best of the 3 for rainy conditions (you probably don't have a lot of that). Don't even consider R6's for the street. Straight-line traction is very good with NT01's, even with a lot of power increase to the wheels. If you have tons of power to the ground Markski's recommendation for DR's is a good one. Just be careful to match front and rear tire diameters as closely as possible.

For your intended usage, my vote is for NT-01's. I havent driven on R888's yet though.


R6's will be fastest on road course though.

Depends also on what size rims you are running... I was all set to get some Nitto's until I found out that they weren't available for OEM 18's. I just got the R888's on today, they sure look sweet, will try them out next week, road and track..
