As above - they are comming in cheaper than top end tyres in the size i now need and are apparently comparable to R888's

Anyone used them? any thoughts - at £120 a tyre for 245/35/18 i think they could be worth it

There a great all round tyre with a reinforced side wall like the R888's and A048's, grip is nearly on par with R888's but don't last quite as long but for the price difference are well worth it

Had them and couldn't fault them. For everyday road driving mine lasted 2.5 years.

I've got them on my LET Corsa, they are great in the dry I can't fault them for the price. But you need to try and get some heat into them when it's wet.

But I they are better than the Toyo R1-r's I had on my old B, in the wet.

Good tyres, even when you have the pressures way off on a hot Donington Park like I did

Not comparable to R888's IMO but for the price they're great tyres, good all rounders too whereas R888's aren't great in the wet. They last loads longer aswell

Just don't opt for the 595SS version.
They break traction mid corner, which is nice, if you want to die...
Scariest tyres I've ever used in the wet
