Did you get to try these mark ??

intrested in your thoughts 

how they last 

how they wear 

and how they compare with the other tires you have tried 

Unfortunately the only time I've been out was at Brands when it was wet in the morning and damp in the afternoon. I did put them on for a couple of sessions in the afternoon but couldnt push it that much. I did notice that I could get on the power earlier coming out of corners (but then I only have 159 at the hubs) which is good as thats where I can really get back at cars in the classes above me. The car is in the workshop now having a repaint, gearbox refurb including the fitting of an LSD and a new rad amongst other things so I wont be out in it until a pre season test day probably early to mid March.

Dunno if Mike did but I did. Unfortunately only for 5 laps when the driveshaft came out as the circlip broke or was broken so I didnt get much of an idea other than they grip more than the old 888s. They will get more of a test next Sunday if its dry.
