The R888 uses a unique semi-slick shoulder area, continuous center contact, and enhanced R compound combined with the V-shaped tread design make the R888 ideal for road racing, track days, and high-performance driving schools. For competition the R888 improves over the RA1 with improvements in casing and tread design for better dry performance, while maintaining wet traction and control. The R888 provides consistent performance throughout the life of the tread. Operating Temperature: 140 F to 220 F, optimum around 200 F # Hot Inflation Pressures: High 30s to Low 40s (psi) # Camber: -2.5 to -5.0 # Caster: As much positive as possible. R888 features and benefits include competitive handling and improved performance: * Advanced casing and V-shaped tread design * Stiffer construction and wider tread width enable the R888 to generate more cornering force, with less heat degradation * Spiral wound cap ply (construction may vary by size) Steering Response * Semi-slick shoulder area improves steering response * Steel wire reinforced sidewalls (construction may vary by size) Braking Performance and Dry Traction * Continuous center contact increases braking performance and feel when compared to the Proxes RA1 * Tread depth can be shaved to maximize dry traction Wet Traction and Control * The V-shaped tread design also enhances wet traction and control Additional Information * UTQG 100 AA A. Should be mounted on a super light and strong wheel choice such as our ENKEI RP-F1 18x9.5 45mm offset rim for max fit and performance.
