Cheapest place to get R888,s

[jhtrophy]

dont think spending money on tyres that will last no more than 6k and will not really be used as intended (road use) is very good advice, i also thought they were being banned because of low grip in cold conditions? cant really see how they can work this time of year, only ever driven with them in summer on track though.

If you went for the medium hard compound they'll probably last a bit longer but kuhmo seem to get good reviews and quite a few different compunds to choose from and isnt there a new toyo tyre which is a compromise between track and road coming out soon. I wouldnt mind some for the road this summer (not really the weather for them now imo) but like you bit stuck on compound and maybe 6-8k miles would be nice.

Besides i thought you said no more mods this year, i think you could class r888s as a mod.

the Toyo r1r will be out early this year. Early spring.

Already available in europe, can be ordered from germany.

Did i really say that Rob

I need 4 new tyres this month so i thought i would see if there is a genuine option for me. It does only get used on the road at the minute, so i was just seeing if there is anything that would offer more dry grip over the RE050A,s i have on at present but still return acceptable mileage.

Surprised your still on the re050a's, I didnt like them much and got rid of them after 4000 miles, replaced with eagle assys which are much more grippy imo.

Seeing as normal summer tires like the assys last me about 4 to 5 thousand miles, would I kill a set of R888's even much quicker?

R888 mileage will depend on the rating

GG - medium compound and should last 3k+ road miles easily. I've still got reasonable tread on mine after the Nurburgring, Spa and 2k+ road miles.
GGG - soft compound - Don't even go there
