Used for 6 months as daily driver on a turbocharged Mk3 MR2 Roadster. Used on all types of roads, in weather ranging from hot summer to cold winter & everything in between.
Dry grip levels are truly incredible. The R888 is an R compound tyre and dry grip far exceeds any conventional 'high performance' street tyre. Performance is far higher than any other tyre I've used.
Wet grip is surprisingly good. Internet horror stories regarding using the R888 in the rain (usually by people who haven't actually run them) are overrated. In my experience as long as the user understands the relationship between rain & grip levels for ANY tyre, wet grip is actually very reasonable. Similarly, as with any tyre, if you are reasonably cautious with standing water, drivability is perfectly adequate especially for a such a highly specialised, high performance piece of equipment.
Some road noise, but perfectly acceptable for an enthusiast driver.
Wear rate is very reasonable for a track tyre, similar in duration to the Toyo T1-R.
Overall, an excellent tyre, with many strengths & very reasonable weaknesses. Understand it's nature & related characteristics, & the R888 is thoroughly recommended.

I won't buy Pirelli ever again!
The worst tyres I've ever used. As other people have said, loads of road noise, slid without warning when going 30 - 35 MPH. Especially, uneasy when used in the wet.
