we used to run our DO1J\'s at 32psi with best results and I believe Phil G also uses 32psi.

We had a press release from Dunlop (cant find now, to long ago) when the DZO2G\'s came out approx 2 years ago and they reported a 1.5 sec better time around Brands in the Dry and an improvement in the wet with them.

Ours were Cold figures

Should add this was at Spa 2 years ago, we had the car in 4 wheel drift on one corner, and with apexi anti-roll, HKS coilovers stiffened up, we could scrap the side skirts on the car going round track. The grip was awesome, day time temps were probably somewhere around early/mids 20\'s resonable sunny day day but not sweltering

Quote from: cannibalAs for the price, he did quote some rough figures around £160- £180 per corner. I\'ll let you know when I get the invoice.

The final prices were £372.01 for the rears and £356.03 for the fronts all in. A bit more expensive than elswhere, but not bad at short notice.

Hi,
I am new on here as I am thinking of getting an RX7 anyway I have been running TOYO 888 for over 18 months on a MR2 Turbo that is very tail happy.
They are fantastic, they will last as long as any good quality rubber, they grip extremely well in the dry and are not too bad in the wet if you use common sense. The only time I would criticise them is on a track day, the sidewalls are a little soft, but this is only noticed whilst giving them some real abuse on a track.  pluss the fact that they also look good.

Quote from: AtomicRexI am currently using the DO2\'s and in the dry they are excellent....however be warned they aren’t too good in the wet!!!  At the Ring they were a tad skittish!! with the back end permanently trying to overtake the front!!  Once it had dried they really bit in and we were starting to explore what the car could do!! :)

The DO1’s I used to use were much better in the wet, but to be fair I experimented with the pressures a little more, and the car I was running them on was lighter.

If anyone wants them just ask as I can get them cheap!!! Less than £600 delivered to your door! 235/40/17 and 245/40/17

How about you send me the tyres, then after I have got them we can haggle and I wont pay you? sound good?
