Anyone running r888r's?
Anyone running Toyo r888r's at all four corners? What sizes? If I go this route these would be mounted on stock wheels for straight line racing only...1/4 mile, half mile, etc.

2014 E63 S model
I have them for rears only on w212. Just 2 tires are loud, sounds like a whirring motor. Picked up extended family at the airport visiting from UK and I did not have time to switch to street tires. They thought something was wrong with the car.
they hold good on a prepped track. You can still fishtail on the street. I'm happy with them for quarter mile.

Can you at least warm up the rears in drift mode?
Though you did say that the rears weren't really the issue, so moot point I guess.
Tire warmers can make a huuge difference. At least they did on my track bike back when I was road racing. Difference is like night and day.

great tire.. I used them before on a Lotus.. also the RA1 and reg R888's... but honestly the Mich 4S is a great tire if your E63 has em.. Conti's are pretty good also
btw.. all those Toyo tires have a lot of road roise, still aquaplane some and will follow the ridges in the road (tramline)

Installed adjustable camber arms up front last week. Also put the r888rs on my 20s. Sizes are in original post, and they fit great and look super meaty. Car is way out of alignment so haven't gotten on it too hard. However, initial impression is wow, these tires hook all the time every time. My ps4s and pss are nowhere near this good. They do hum, however, but it's not awful.
Will post more when car is aligned.
