I really can't tell how many track days I should get out of them as I did not measure thread depth last night but just looking at them this morning I would guess 5 or 6.

I just installed a set (295-18 and 345-18) on my ZR1 last week and ran them at Sonoma Raceway in 102 degree heat yesterday. On a similar day my last set of 888's lead to an offroad adventure when they heated up so I was a cautious during my first session.
Initially I started out at 30 psi cold and later dropped to 28 psi. Each session was 25 minutes long and tire pressure increased 6 psi per session. They are not loud. They did not get greasy. The computer did not complain. They stick like glue. I recommend you give them a try.
Hey Toyo did you like the free ad and will you send me a new set when I wear these out?

Anyone making more than 800whp using just a set of rears on the street have feedback?

I run the R888R (and previously the R888) on my 1100WHP 6sp Supra. With boost-by-MPH dialed in they hook extremely well as long as the temps/roads are warm. I won't run anything else and will be getting a set for the ZR1 in the spring.

At Watkins Glen last weekend there was a pretty fast Doug Rippie built C5Z running R888R. I was on NT01 and he could keep up with me and I run pretty fast. He said he liked them alot. Got up to temp about as fast or faster than me. Not sure if they heat cycle out and turn greasy like the R888 though, but the new tread design and sidewall look promising.
But the NT01 seem to run forever and once down to about 2 to 3 32nds of tread with two grooves left turn into EXTREMELY sticky race slicks. I love them when they get there. That's the sweet spot, and they are very sticky up to that point as well. I will probably grab a pair of R888R as my back-up set and try them with NASA next month.
