The R888's sensitivity makes them a love/hate tire and I think is the reason you get such a wide range of responses from people
Interestingly I switched over from RA1s to the R888s because I found that due to the larger voids in the RA1s I ended up ripping them up much faster than the R888s.

I guess driving style, car setup etc play a big role on these tires with such varying results.
