Very nice! I haven't seen them over here yet. When my RA-1's wear though, they will be replaced with R-888's. What were you running before? Keep us posted on how they turn out.

And just how "dear" are they? How sticky are the tires?

How do they compare in price and lap times to the Toyo Ra-1?

I've yet to take mine out to the track but judging by some reviews it sounds quite good.
There's a bit here: http://www.tyretradenews.co.uk/current/itma2.html However searching the toyo websites reveal the R888 is only availiable in the UK and the RA-1 only in the US. As for price they retail for £134ea+VAT and fitting/balancing. (Pelicanites in the UK wanting a set let me quote you first.... I work in a Toyo dealer  )
