Bearing in mind were not racing drivers and 99% of the cars use is road work, id say the extra grip and cost above that of the 595RSR is just not worth it.I was blown away by the grip of the RSR in very wet conditions on track. I was happily following the rear bumper of a Focus RS MP350 running the Sport Conti 5 tyres in my car which had "worn" RSR tyres fitted at a cold Mallory Park Trackday in what was pretty much torrential rain. There is no way i would have been as quick with R888s on. Same goes at Silverstone, i was lapping silverstone on a hot trackday pretty hard with the RSRs and they never failed to impress, didnt go off and hardly wore. Id wager the R888s wouldnt have lasted any where near as long, nor made my day any more enjoyable.For me, the RSR is the best all round tyre when you consider not only dry grip, but wet grip, wear rate and cost.Anyone try the Nankang NS-2R? Apparently a direct competitor to the RSR!

I will be selling a set of black pro race 1.2's in the next couple weeks if anybody is interested?
