Message	They don't perform as intended until they reach and maintain their proper operating temp, which nobody is going to achieve while street driving. They are intended for track, they have typically > 100 treadwear and thus short life if daily driven. And tend to be expensive. Honestly, with all the great choices in UHP/Extreme performance tires out there, there is no reason to run R comps on the street, you're not gaining anything. And R-888's perform excellently in the rain, once they have been brought up to temp. Ran them several times at rain events. Regards, WARNING!  Forum posts are likely to contain traces of irony.

My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money I'm off to wax mine and go for a drive now. - BigTDogg (MA) 07:17:08 07/17/09 times change, people change, but the Z32 still kicks ass. - apudapus 16:46:02 06/15/07 I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07 You have *got* to be getting a cut from B&B :D - SeedyROM 15:24:29 08/16/06 What do you think B&B stands for? - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:57:09 08/16/06
