Are you still on the R888 or did you move to another tire? Compared with the NT01 or the Maxxis Victra RC-1, the Toyo seems to be a fair bit more expensive...
If I was buying a set of R-comp tires for my first set, I would probably go with the Nitto (and try to time it with one of the DTD $100 off $400 sales) since a lot of folks seem to use it. I am intrigued by the Maxxis though...
I think I will just buy 2 new R888 and run that set until it wears down.
Do you/did you heat cycle yours?
