r888 is alot better than rsr, grip wise, price is slightly pricey but i would say with the better grip, it's worth it. :biggrin:

both tires should last for about 4-5 tracking (depends on individual), mine lasted about there..

I just replaced my dead rsr with r888. gotta say the r888 felt really good !

Never really got to the limit... i pushed for like 4 1/2 laps max before cooling down... but one thing to maybe take into consideration was yesterday was considered a cool day... morning session, cloudy with not much sun... so cool trek temp...

Yeah, the r888 are definately great track tires no doubt, but the trade off is realtively poor wet performance and a thread wear rating of 100! But taiko Yuri no problem, r888 just play-play whack-whack tyres...:biggrin:

My fren just changed to 595 rsr and tested it in SIC last weekend.. the dry grip is very good comparable with Re01-R and R1R and close to R888 but wet is better the R888.

Last i checked 215/45/17 was rm450 at klang.. I will try to get 225 for next change.
