PS2/SS vs R888

[Herc]

Did the search and read all the posts I could find. Could not find much on the R888 but that has been recommended to me. I owned an 09 with the PS2s
and thought they drove well, no following groves like the run flats. So my question is how do the R888s preform on the street as far as tracking when driving
on groved roads? Also I have been told that the R888s have better traction and wear almost as long as the PS2s, I don't put a lot of miles on the Viper so
they will probably age out before wearing out.

Don't worry about it. Toyo doesn't make anything in a 345/30-19 anyway. So it doesn't matter how good the R888's are, they don't fit your car. The comparable tire is the Pilot Sport Cup. ......Also, the R888 is a track tire anyway. A street tire that is available in Viper sizes that won't track in the grooves is the Nitto Invo.

for what it's worth, the super sports wont track either...

Thanks guys. I'm leaning toward the PS2s, had them on my 09, but I just heard that the New 2013 Viper Pirelli's will be out with in a month.

While a good tire the Pilot SS have a 300 treadwear rating very hard compared to the Pilot Sport Cups at an 80 treadwear rating, the PSC are phenomenal on the track just don't last very long.
