Wow I've not seen that before in such a short time I purchased new 205 60 13 r888rs just 6 months ago from jd competition tyres £136 each and £8 delivery for all 4 when I spoke with the guy on the phone he said he had plenty in stock and they took 7 days to arrive hope this helps.

 

To clarify, although I can't see a date mark on the tyres (wwyy format) I believe they were fitted new by the previous owner in approximately late 2021. They were then not driven until I bought the car in may '23. So maybe they're 4.5 years old but haven't had a hard life. Bit disappointing. 

 

Thanks for the tip on JD. I did not know about them. R888Rs about £20 a corner more than AR-1s but they are seemingly in stock

Toyo no longer supply the Uk, some companies will order container loads, these took so long to arrive 

 

hopefully having a drive out soon and track day in April too so will try to think on to review 

Should be good in the dry but not as good in the damp as R888R mk sportscars now use them on alot of new cars as they can't get toyos either their track car is almost a second  a lap quicker on the nankang over toyo but they say they wear alot quicker too

Couple of simple jobs today, swapped the oh so time consuming to adjust belts to some nice Sabelt ones purchased second hand from a forum member…

And swapped the ‘fried egg’ indicator bulbs for some silvered ones…

As we had a decent weekend weather wise finally managed to get out and fit some larger ignition leads from Burton along with some better matched spark plugs for the webers and finally managed to replace the old k&n filters with this one. 

Next on the list of to find a place to fit an oil catch can to the pipe that is just hanging down at the moment haha
