Default Track tires Toyo R888, anyone using them?

Anyone running Toyo R888 on the track? I'm thinking about trying them out... I have been using p/s cups in a 265/30 and am getting about 4 to 5 full track days, roughly 20-25 heat cycles and they work great. I also saw that p/s cups are offered in a 265/35 19 XL (extra load) good for 1635 lbs. That seems like a better rating and size to run on track for the RS4 with a much better load capacity than the 265/30 which is 1279 lbs. which I currently use. Also, a little more sidewall would seem to be better as well, not sure if they will fit though. The Toyos are offered only in a 265/30.

Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks all;-)

Default Didn't know they had a size that works...

...I might have tried 19's. I switched to 18's instead and have lighter wheels and NT01's in 275/35/18 but haven't run them yet..

Default I race them, but missing my Yokohama A048 265/35 18 so bad!

Toyo R888 265/35 18 works great on the track but makes allot of noise on public roads and dont last long on the RS4 but they are sheep so you get what you pay for.
