Hola guys and girls,
I'm in discussion with an online retailer about there tyres. I said there would be a minimum order of 5 sets of 2 is any one interested. Without discount they are £150 a pair.
Cheers

Which R888? R or S?
Why only the rears?
£150 a pair is dirt cheap anyway. Is that correct?

Hey chaps, sorry for the delay and that I've been super busy. As far as I know they are R's. The company replied and told me I can get them cheaper if I open a professional account... I could look into that, but I'm not sure if it would make all that much different to the bottom line..?

Yes, the last 4 numbers of the DOT code depict the week and year of manufacture

Ok peeps, this is what I have. The prices seem to fluctuate on an almost daily basis by a a fair amount, so they must be imported.

These are the old R888 and as far as I was aware there were no more GG compound tyres available, only SG. I tried to get some GG in March this year for the new season and couldnt get any. I tried everywhere, and I mean everywhere, including tyreleader. These seem very, very cheap. That link makes no mention of the compound. If they are SG they are soft compound for sprints and the like.
If these are GG they are a bargain.

They list the SG separately and more expensive at £186. I wouldn't be totally sure you'll not get SG though.
The R888R is only slightly more expensive at £159.
The reason Tyreleader has so many options, variable stock and pricing is because it's operating from European wide stock. It really is massive in comparison to anything we have in the UK
