How did you find the R888's compare to normal road tyres?

Tbh i was expecting better, traction was still a issue with road tyre cars launching at the same rate as me. I think the problem is getting heat in to them.

Post Tue Sep 18, 2012 9:44 pm

Yeah they are probably too hard, I got the proxies hot with 2nd gear burnouts, melted the edges off the coonts infact

Post Tue Sep 18, 2012 11:10 pm

I was never really impressed with launching on r888's on the road, even when they were warm. I guess it's not what they are designed for and the sidewalks are too stiff

Post Wed Sep 19, 2012 11:05 pm

Yeah was a great car for me, I reckon if that had been given the alpina 24v the sills would have fallen off on launch

Post Wed Sep 19, 2012 11:07 pm

quatro ist fur sissies

was the turd rotten ?

Post Wed Sep 19, 2012 11:10 pm

Backs of the sills were fooked, started to separate/split at the lower seam, scuttle was fooked, and it was a 4 door with lots of morsels, it had to die
