Being stickier than rated is a good thing!

Glad I'm not the only one that feels like r888s harden up And loose their grip quickly.

Even in the summer they were spinning for you? Temps are a good bit hotter here in NC than IL and I found the RE-11 are not that bad (in the summer). I felt I could get R888s overheated and spinning in the summer here, but maybe that was because they were old at that point (about 12k miles!).
Anyway, I have not heard of anyone (with first hand experience) recommending tires that outperform the RE-11s (other than R888s) as far as street tires are concerned. I am considering trying competition tires (below 100 tread wear rating, e.g. Pilot Sport Cup+, etc).
