Default Good tyres make Good brakes.
Just had my R888s fitted (Cheers Martin!).. not really had chance to play with them, but fuck they feels like you're gliding into roundabouts, awesome .

Anyway, old tyres when I slammed on, the brakes would lock up, had to emergency brake for some traffic lights No locking up, just stopped on the spot


This could be a good 4 weeks

Would love to try some semi slicks but there bloody expensive for 18's and you can't use them in the rain, well you can but I doubt you'll go in the direction you intend to
