Thanks...I use to run RA1 then those were discontinued and for the last 2 years I've been on R888. I find the R888 to be good if you keep hot pressure at no more than 34front and 36 rear...I normally run them at 32 front and 33 rear. But they do heat cycle out once you hit the wear bars.

This last weekend I put on a set of MPSC in stock 19" sizes. They don't seem to have the same grip that the R888 has in it's prime. Anything over 36psi hot and they let go real easy. I found 32/34 to be good.
Wear was good at -2.5 camber front and -2 rear.

I'm going to try out the Pirelli Trofeo next probably.
