i find them fine if you drive normal in the wet ,drive like a tit and it wont matter what tyres you have you will get caught out as you put it.
p-s i have been on them for 31/2 years with no probs
I've been accused of being arrogant on here, but thats nothing compared to you.
All I'm saying is that I bet if stopping distances were tested in dry/wet/very wet/ice the R888's would come out shit in all but the dry tests. OK, so any tyres will slide in ice, but not as easily and as far as R888's. They have no aspect of their design that take into account water displacement and ice etc.
3 1/2 years driving on them doesn't take into account ONE situation where you get caught out.
Take my example, entirely different I know. When my bonnet flipped because I didn't put my bonnet pins in, I have never really lived down the trauma in my mind of thinking what could have happened if that car that missed me literally by INCHES as I swerved all over the road in a big slide had've T-Boned me, killing him/me/both, then in the investigation it wouldn't have been hard to prove that my bonnet pins were never closed, causing the accident. Can you just imagine it?
