    You bring another 290 GBP with your 110 GBP and you can have them.

    If I can't sell them, I'm going to swap them back to my car when it goes for it's new top end.

    Bump for my tyres.

    Does no one like proper tyres anymore?

    How do these compare to something like a federal rsr?

    I found 888's have slightly more grip than the rsr's, dry and wet, but when really pushed (like flat out in handling circuits etc) the RSR's last longer whereas the grip on the 888's seems to drop off sharply when they go. The 888's are the more grippy tyre if you are not going for competitive use that requires repeated runs or use, both ideal for trackdays etc.

    ross, 888's are light years ahead of the RS-R. The RS-R is really excellent but the 888 is brutal in the corners. I would much prefer to have them on my car but I think needs must at the moment.

    I have to disagree with this, 888s are an awesome tyre. Bundles of grip!!

    No offense but perhaps on an FWD scrabbler they are but with 400 going to the rear wheels the difference was staggering.

    You bring no use to this thread with your massively incorrect statements so please stay out.

    Did i even say what car?

    Massively incorrect, lol ok then, What other tyres have you actually used?



    PS, I was actually going to make an offer on these, but seeing as your being a bit of a **** as usual as well as massively over pricing things i'll leave it

    But of course you were going to make an offer, silly me! And considering they're less than half the price of the new ones they're no where near over priced. They're priced accordingly.

    I've driven and directly experienced 595 RS-R's, R888's, AD08's and been driven on A048's. So frankly, I've got a fair idea.

    Bump for some universally (bar Jamie) rated tyres.

    I'd put some pics up as soon as you can, I know most people know what 888's look like, but there's nothing like pictures to look at when you are trying to sell something

    Hi Scottie

    I know, I meant to last week but I was so long working on the body that the light left me. I will do my utmost to get some pictures up this weekend.

    In the meantime, another bump if anyone is interested, they are still for sale.

    Very keen to get these sold now chaps. Got some big bills to pay shortly if all is to go well. I'll take interest in all offers and will endeavour to get some photos tomorrow.
