Those are street legal road race tires. They will be great until you put to many heat cycles in them, then they will be like rocks. They are not too great in the rain either.

The R888's look pretty cool but for a sticky street tire I would choose either Dunlop Direzza Star Specs or Hankook RS3's. Both were cheaper than the R888's the last time I checked.

What do you intend to use them for? I haven't tried them but have read a lot about them. For a sticky street tire, I'd go Hankook RS3 or if you want to pay the price, Bridgestone re11R.

not sure what size your looking for BUT the new BFG Rivals are suppose to be the business for a 200TWR tire.

well I like my kuhmo tires but they are on national back order. I got the r888 so I will run them til they are gone. I'll go back to my kuhmo tires once these toyos are gone.
