Cheers dude. Those R1R's any good?
R1R's are good in the wet but the tread blocks are a bit tall in the dry
Feels a bit squirmy after a few laps

R888s are immense, but. Horrible in cold temps (road) love finding tram lines. Once up to road temp their fine.
They love the wet, just not any surface water or standing water. You will aquaplane and shimmy about aggressively.
Brilliant tyre though IMO. They rely heavily on pressures though to make them last. I've managed 9k out of mine so far, but I've worked hard for my money's worth.
Oh, and on track. You'll be pushing 'hard' to find the limits of these tyres. (Psi also adjust needed here).
Just my expwrience of them if you choose. Good luck.

I really didn't like my 888's on track. Really didn't do as well as my A048s
They were second hand so perhaps they were "off" by the time I got my hands on them
Those 888's are cheap. I've just got myself some AO48's with 4mm of tread on them. I'm going to use these as road tyres and see how I get on

I've got my times down. If I can get it under 5 minutes i'll be stoked.
Unlikely with the traffic in the mornings
a good HAM shift on the weekend and I reckon I can push low 4's haha
I'll be using them as road tyres for a bit. Once they are getting low they will be track tyres. I'd like to enjoy my wheels before they get wrecked by the RC6's LOL

Available for £361.50 post (2-4 working days). Where did you buy from?
Thats a good price on the 888 (showing tiny bit over 90 now but still same thing really as its only pence different)
Not seen them under 100 quid much lately.
Yeah , it seems to fluctuate between £86-£90. Still havent quite worked out why they are showing some at a much higher price as well. Wondering if the more expensive one's ( which I would guess not too many people are buying ) are older stock which they bought in at a higher price and therefore have to sell at the higher price to maintain a profit margin. I say this because the cheaper one's seem to have the new A-G tyre banding on them whereas the expensive one's dont.
I can confirm that the cheaper sets are definitely GG compound normal 888's, I have bought 4 myself as has a friend.
