Spun my R888's this weekend. Spun the fronts more than 1/2 way around and the rears about 1/2 way around. ARRRRGH....my race shop is going to use the bead sealer and see if that helps.

Larry just doesn't like the scented Aquanet as it runs into his eyes when he sweats.
One more for Aquanet. It works well as the lub for putting on the tires on then sets up and secures the bead to the rim. I marked the tires and after the Aquanet, no rotation. I was seeing up the 90 degrees before this.

Larry did I tell you that I will never buy full tread R888's again, scare the crap out of you new out of the box. Yes I was not braking hard becuase the car was scary loose in to the apex. They have settled down but not as good as my Corsas were.
