The fun part with R888 is that they grip better when the treads are gone..:) I gained 2 seconds on a 1.9 km track using "worn out" R888's.

@fucksalt669 i can assure you they don't, surprisingly not too bad in the wet, but then again i don't drive like a maniac when its wet

[GranTurismoFan10]

how much are they???

[Tsar8000]

@mpag96 Yes, they would. Their lifespan is shorter than normal street tires, but they grip way better. Using them in heavy rainfall isn't recommended.

[blackcirc1es]

The grip generated by these tyres in dry conditions is really something and they can be relied upon get you home safely on normal roads.

[lazybiker79]

There great tires... I use them on my lotus. They do not hydroplane in the wet

[urbex2007]

The stiff sidewall is annoying contrary to what the reviewer states. They take a lot longer than 1min to warmup. Try about 5 0-180kph blasts and they are then at operation temperature putter around for 1 minute my arse.

The next thing is they really do only last about 5000 street kms before they are illegally bald. The next 5000kms is great because they are so close to slicks but the compound has gone hard.

The fact is they start at 5mm tread, so you only have 4mm to wear
