Rear tyre choice?
What's everyone recommending for a rear tyre choice?

Use same brand and tyre you have on the front. For safety and handling its better to have same brand and tyres all around on a vehicle. Note, I did not say same size for front and rear.

Will provide more traction in warmer weather. Under 40 degrees not so much. Will have a decent amount more noise from the R888.

Well I've bought some Toyo r888r's just for the rears to lay down some decent straight line 0-60 and 60-130mphs. The weather is improving and want a decent sticky tyre. Hopefully they last me through the summer then I'll get Michelin ps4s on all 4 corners.

Just put on AS3+ from stockers. Soft ride but marshmallowy. Hard to drive the car hard and have 100% confidence... guess that’s the tradeoff with an A/S.
