They are probably the newest ones without the E marking so illigal to use on the road.
Not seen them that cheap for a while though and not many copper check your tyres that in depth so would 99% of the time get away with it if tugged. Vosa probably a different story but they like trucks more.

Even the a048's are very cheap... Usually they are about 20% more than r888's and i can pick up a full set for 508 and i paid 630 for a set of 888's last year.

It's to do with the ever increasing exchange rate between euro and sterling isn't it?
Even normal tyres such as goodyear eagle f1's have dropped quite a lot.

Yep. I'm finding it a lot at work with the stuff I sell. Changes quite frequently.

Is that second one a brand of ribbed condom Nic, or a chain of brothels?
