I corded my r888 at the dragon. They probably have 5 or 6 track days and 1k road miles. I am also running about -3.0 front camber lol.

this makes me think the sport cup 2's may be the better choice for the gtr

The r888r are supposed to wear better than the old r888. I think you can't go wrong with either tire. I would make the decision based on price. Let's face it, you will buying another set in a year if you drive it as hard as your Z. Try one this year and the other next year.

this is true lol

think the cup 2's are like $200 cheaper a set so not a big deal either way.

The RS-RRs has basically 3 track days worth of time from ACS.. about 700 road miles on -3.0 camber. I think wear life is similar to the R888 based off that maybe? But thats saying something seeing how much faster the R888 is

I am trying to decide what tire to replace my r888 with. The reviews on r888r are all over the place, re71 are really good for one track weekend and the new kid on the block is the Advan A052. They are getting lots great reviews and are supposed to be faster than re71 in a 200 tw tire. The price is the killer as they are as expensive as nt01.
