The R888 tires had their downfalls, but the R888R is a significant departure. They’re still noisy, but they wear much better and more consistently. Plus, they offer a stiffer sidewall and a redesigned tread pattern to offer more grip. So far, the R888R has been great for us.
I've seen the lap times from Simon and I am quite impressed! Our car is weighing in at around 3550 and we're still dialing in our suspension and brakes. We have some weight reduction coming in soon as well!
