888's are a great tire, but more of an autocross tire. I am still using them as my street tire combo.
A NT05R will probably grip better being its a drag radial.
But what if the purpose of the car is just a fun street car? I don't want to totally kill the handling of the car since it is sort of a canyon carver as well. Maybe the R888 is just a better choice since my trips to the drag strip are maybe 3-4 times a year and just for fun not looking to cut a 1.3 60ft
