Okay... at least as long as I have the car I am going to enjoy! Thinking of trailering the car to my buddy's house in Manhattan Beach and then driving about 55 miles from Manhattan Beach to California Speedway for a track event (leaving my wife/kids a way to get around while we're at the track).

Will 110 miles of freeway driving destroy my tires?

mooty

no, i put 400 miles on it driving to/from track every track day.
they are also my street tires.

tlarocque

thanks. how many events do you get out of them doing that?

mooty

4 days on track, 600 miles. but i am very hard on my tires.
my BSR front tires last me 2 days ;-) some ppl can use them for entire racing season.

You're 200 miles from the track mooty?

mooty

60 to Infineon
160 to TH
110 to LS
320 to BW
450 to WS
why?

P.J.S.

R888 are fine on the road...
I can get 3-4 days out of set driving to and from track... about a 40 minute drive

Depends on how much camber you have. If you have 3.5 degrees say, then 100 miles will so take a huge amount out of them. I run 3 deg front and they were fine for that type of road mileage.

mooty

3+ all around.
i only drive to/from track, dont use it daily.

tlarocque

Thanks all. I'll give it a go.

I also use them on the street/track. Rears go out about 2.5x faster than fronts for me.

I got 5000 miles out of mine, to/from track and street. But, I'm not overly aggressive/fast at the track...

Rears are finaly shot, but the fronts got plenty of tread left...

R888's are totally fine on the street. I've even driven home on R6's when I was lazy...
