They do sound good though. Will do some more research. Sounds like could be good road tyre for M3.
Read it again, 95% of the dry grip, but these actually work when it's wet. They also last longer at higher temps where R888's wear quickly!
So what, driftworks have a sponsorship deal with them, they wouldn't use them if they were shit would they.
Price wise, and that's if you can find somewhere stocking 888's.
225/45/17 £111 vs £158
255/40/17 £135 vs £170
215/45/17 £105 vs £135
So thats almost the same dry performance, they last longer, work in the wet, and are quite a bit cheaper. Good enough for me to call it leagues ahead.
Being serious though, try them, you might be suprised.
