Anyone tried R888 SG on their Clio?

As per title - just managed to grab a set with 4mm+ tread left for free.

They are only for Autotests but wondering how bad the wear is, whether it's worth giving them a crack on track (lol?) or whether they'll melt in three laps.

arent these designed for hill climbs or sprints? I reckon they'd over heat with prolonged use but then i've only used 2Gs. Then again they were free so try them

The more I read the more it seems like it's a waste of time using them on a dry/warm track day, but should be perfect for a wet/damp day.

I just keep them for autosolo for now and find something else for trackdays.

Use them on the Westfield for hillclimbs and sprints, they're great. They'll go off after a few laps of dry track, but have found them ok on a damp track.
I'd guess that dry track in a heavy Clio would have them gone after a couple of laps. Save them for a damp day or if you do any sprints .

They performed brilliantly.

Sorry to hijack the thread - has anyone tried the hard 888's?
