Default Toyo R888 on the street?

Anyone have experience with running these on the street?

I want something sticky for both corners and off the line and need something to replace my RA1's with. And since RA1's are not really any longer i thought of these.

thanks

Yes. They work. If you ran RA1s at full depth, you'll be fine with R888s. They're very similar.

I run R888's on the street and they work great, but I don't have much rain experience with them.

do they still keep the same grip after 20-30 heat cycles from driving them regularly on the street... I'm debating between these and the yokahama advan neova AD08's

was leaning toward the AD08's because I thinking that the 888's might loose a lot of grip from all the heat cycling of daily driving... whats been your guys experience? do they loose some grippyness after about 20 aggressive trips to the grocery store or work?
