I dont know what type of tracking you do, but I use the R888 as a daily driver and a track tire at the TX Mile. They are the best tires I have ever had. They are excellent for dry traction and more than good even in the wet. The have lasted longer than PS2s on my car. The only nit I can think of is that they are a little noisy but I can barely hear them over my exhaust!! LOL!!

I ran my best times with the R888's! so hands down the best tire next to the M/T.

If you watch my video you can see the front tires come off the ground 1"

I heard that the R888 is very noisy, but I'm welling to try that as my next set of tires.

I'm looking for a good dual purpose tire... drag strip, street and time attack. Looks like the R888 will work well.
