I love my r888s. I did a lot of research and think they are the best compromise between real street tires and slicks. I have driven them in the rain with no problems at all. The noise does not bother me but then again my daily driver is an f250, those tires are loud.

 

Thanks Turbo Todd,i have a VW for DD. 996 only weekends and road track.

 

how are they priced?

 

It's very close to this:Front $204 eac- REAR $205 each-4 of them +-$820

 

I forgot TIRESDIRECT.NET

 

They are less than PS2s

 

how do the Nitto INVO's compare to the R888?

 

the r888's are much stickyer .

 

Invo is a high performance street tire.. very quiet and softer sidewall.. R888 is R tire.. can't compare

 

how long do they last?

I'm done with the absolute horror that were Kumho Ecsta SPTs on my car and am considering going back to continentals.

I dont get much more than 5-6kmiles on my rears - what can I expect with these R888s?

 

if you rnot getting more then 6 k miles on the kumho 's i doubt you will get any more on the the 888's liek stated above they are a r compound.

 

actually the kumhos were less...more like 4k, at least the contis were 6k.

thanks!

back to contis i go!

 

Nitto NT 01 they dead hook from a 40 punch and of course handle like the R compound track tire that they are.

Just don't get caught in the rain.

 

Nitto NT 01 are great tires,better then R888's but much expensive.

You have very good sets of tires in bothe cars.

 

I used both of the R888 and the RA1.....still like the RA1 for track use of my 996 TT....
