Notice the bead difference between the Michelin (huge) and the Avon (tiny). |

That was an interesting tire test. It confirms to me my own observations about the R888. It's not a particularly good tire at all. My Elise was transformed when I went from the R888 to the Hankook RS-3 -- and the RS-3 "shouldn't" have been better. But it was.

It will actually work on any M2 The receiver has to to be in the middle of the car So IF it would fit, I'd Velcro it to the lid in the console so it can be plugged into the USB

I have the non Connect Cup2's, my car is not a daily, so I can live with them, but I'd never choose them for a daily driver. Driving in the wet is not fun, they let go really quick and at low temperatures they have much reduced grip. Whilst connects might have addressed some of these issues (????) they still have a wide shoulder which promote aqua planing.

Tire tech has come so far over the years. The Cup2s of today probably handle multiple times better in the wet than tires of yesteryears. Not to mention all of the nannie tech on cars now that make them much safer. At some point driving skill needs to become part of driving.

I don't know the circumstances of the accident, do you? The traction control could have been off, the car could have been going too fast, or the driver could have been a moron.
