Running Toyo 205/55/16's on track

Been offered a set of nearly new toyo 888's. However, they're 55 profile. Any issues with running these higher profile 888's on track?

I think a few people ran the 55 profile 888's at Spa, I dont remember anyone having any problems.

unsure about 888's but i ran 55 profile tyres at spa without issues

What sort of compound were they Reuben? Know the toyos have quite soft walls.

not track tyres pal, road one,avon zz3's

I run Toyo 215/50/16 888s on track.Its common knowledge that i think they are fantastic.On a wet track they are good as well. 55s i have no idea,but not to much difference i would guess.

long as the tyre wall isn't too squishy I guess?

The way i see it is ,if that toyo make them,then they have to be ok for the purpose they are made for !

They will be fine in terms of fit, but your car will be a little higher geared due to running larger diameter tyres, so your acceleration will be reduced very slightly.

Barely noticeable that acceleration drop I thought though?

Yup bearly noticeable....didn't stop me overtaking quite a few others until I fell of track

countrycruising was running 888's at spa and he said they were very good even in the wet

friend put some 888 on a evo 7 i know different car
but we went to car park in very heavy rain full lock and pinned it
didnt step out once , although we did go over manhole cover and it step a little then
so if use them on roads in wet try and avoid road markings and manhole covers

as a side a note too about running slick tyres
my friend was told not to use them on a noble m12 gto as it will break the diff as the traction is too good (m400 is fine it has uprated parts over the gto)
is this same for the coupe?

Yup gota say when i was in countrycruising's coupe at spa the grip was fab.Car pushed to the limits without slide or anything...
