    R888 s

    Just noticed that my tire guy got the old style R888's for the rear, and the new R888R's for the front. Do you think that will cause any type of handling issues?

    I heard new ones were in the works, I wasn't aware they were available yet. I would want new all around.

    I have no choice at this point. I'm getting ready for an event next weekend and have to have this taken care of this morning. I guess I will just have to burn the rears off fast.

    For what it's worth, I like the old tread design better

    It looks better....but the new R888R's are non directional, so you can swap them from side to side (hopefully increasing tire life). Plus, all of the tests show that the new R's will hold better.

    I have the R's on all four corners, but I won't see the track until the end of the month.

    Rotating is definitely a plus

    I would have thought they were still directional by looking at them in pics. Hmmm...

    I thought they were too, until I got them.

    I just had my R888R's put on today. Sure a lot more grip than the Corsa's.
