Great info- I’ve been considering R888’s to replace my Pirelli Corsas…Also on an Impreza. The corespondent confirmed and raised my enthusiasm for this RA1 replacement. Thanks to he who posted this!

How are these tires for drag racing? I’m thinking of using them on my SL65, mostly on street, but for occasional drag use. What are the expected 60′ with this tire?

The Nitto 555R2 is a better choice for street/track use.

Good tyres i’m considering some.

However you shouldnt drive around the streets on them ;). They are only good for so many heat cycles. Semi slicks usually go stale before the tread wears down as well.

Anybody used those for Autocross? Do you think they are suitable for that or just roadcoarse?
