Semi Slick on Ti-Mike's R8

[Ti-Mike]

Finally i received a set of semi slicks for my R8, well it will be hard to beat the new PZero's R01 which are OEM on the R8 but let's have a try.

Mike,
Tell us about wet road handling on these new tires.

[Ti-Mike]

wet road's = zero
that's why I live in Lugano
Sorry for that.
As I use my R8 more or less like a track car, I don't car, I wouldn't mount semi slicks for a everyday car.

Hey, Ti-Mike, which Brand/Model tyres are they? They look very agressive!

[Ti-Mike]

This are Toyo R888, the Michelins Pilote Sport Cup 2 and Pirelli Corsa are not available in the 19" R8 sizes.

Let's see...........

Mike Corsa's are available for R8. They are the same one as Corsa's for Gallardo(same size and load index as for R8). Even German Sport Auto tested R8 with Corsa's on their Supertest...

[Ti-Mike]

but they can't deliver, their are non in stock....I know that the size exists but availabilty = 0.

It's like the new Pirelli PZero which is OEM on the R8, don't blow it, because same story availability = 0.

I have a friend with an R8, he had a nail in the front tire, 3 weeks to get 2 new front tires.
