    Anyone run with a set of 4 Toyo R888's on a Cupra?

    Really good when wet, better than oem tyres, but pants for standing water........

    Cupra 2008 grinding noise

    Hi Rob, just snooping around on here! Yeh, p/exed the Cupra for an Evo X paddle-shift in a mad moment! Guess I got tired of traction issues with the fwd..... Can't complain of that now! The car takes the p!ss from a standing start and haven't come close to the limit on the road yet! Tweaked it...

    Cupra 2008 grinding noise

    Have you got wider wheels fitted? Mine did the same with 245's on, not rubbing on anything but upset the geometry on full lock, sounded like a cv joint gone but was the tyre "skipping", went when I put std wheels/tyres back on.......

    Cupra tyres, whats recommended & whats not

    I'd give the Toyo R1R a go personally, I had 888r's on for a couple of thousand miles, unbelievable grip wet or dry, no wheelspin in 2nd gear in the dry, just not reccomended for standing water due to the tread pattern. R1R's as I understand are the same basic tyre with a tread pattern suited...

    Car back to standard, bah!

    Had a 20 min drive to start with and was underwhelmed! Went back and had a 45 min drive to explore the car and box, what a difference, as you say, no turbo hit like the Cupra, much more linear but the grip/handling is superb. The way the box works once you're used to it is nothing short of...
