r888 on rear only?

It was only once I think but it was the technique. You were right there with low 1.5s after you learned the key to getting heat in the tires. If he was cutting consistent 1.4s that would be a different story but I would venture to say he couldn't do that again unless it was another track rental. 1.5s are more realistic on street tires with proper warmup and track prep.

My 60s got better as the track got warmer.

Though you don't see it in the German world often, it's very common in the American Muscle crowd. It's not uncommon to see Corvettes, Camaro's, Mustangs and so forth using let's say Nitto Invos up front and Nitto NT05R's on the rear for example or from even seeing Toyo R888's up front and a T1R up front or something else made by Toyo.
Other than the fact that in the turns you'll have rears gripper than the fronts which will increase understeer, there's no real issue. Since you're using this for 1/4 miles runs primarily, I wouldn't say there would be a problem, but I would be more cautious with the way the car handles if you took it on a road course or took a drive through some twisty roads spiritedly.

Super sports are really the way to go. I have them on my 550/550 rwhp/tq c6z and they are much better than any other non track tire I've had.
