It will be interesting to hear others opinions after experiencing the R888.

I just ran with mine for the first time yesterday. I experienced the same as what you described. I did feel like there's more grip than the AD08's but not much more. But I feel like I need to be running more negative camber. -2.4 in the fronts now and I feel like I'm just riding the edge of the tires around the corners. With my AD08's I was running anywhere from a high 1:43.8 to 1:45 pretty consistently and yesterday my best was a low 1:43.1, but running 1:43's very consistently. The weather at Laguna was in the 50's all day so not sure how much that affects the grip in these tires.
