ha ha thats not to bad then. im lucky to get that out a normal set of tyres. so what sort of tread are they blinx just the same as the 888. and what they like in the wet cause i know what they tyres can be like if you dont keep the heat in them and not to sure the police would be to happy if i was doing burn outs all over town to keep them nice and hot lol
it all depends on your alignment, vehicle weight, roads and driving style, i typically drive slow, i inspect the tires every 2 weeks and do an alignment if i have to. i mainly make sure my toe is set up properly.
i think its a combination of things why i get so much life:
-my car is VERY light 2240lbs.
-i avoid rough roads.
-i always check alignment.
-i dont make long trips.
i do not drive in the rain, i have a few times and i cant exceed 35mph as i will start to lose traction even if going straight!!
I use R888 daily on my EK9, absolutely outstanding in the dry and tbh they are still very good in the wet
I was worried about puddles but it's fine, driven home from work over some back roads in really bad rain a few times, as long as you don't drive like a mong they are fine
On the downside they give off a lot of road noise especially above 50mph, also if you are out on a good run and get them properly hot they chuck up loads of stones and crap off the road
Can't see me changing to a different tyre now, really really like them!!!
As for how long they will last? Guess time will tell, i check my alignment frequently, car is all rebushed and i run some very aggressive alignment settings so i will see!!
