Threadware rated at 100..and it kinda depends on your driving style..if you go Genting frequent enough and spirited/gila driving mode..I'm guessing (don't hold my words for it)..within 3-6months?

Can't compare R888 to PS3..2 different categories altogether...

Plus..it's raining season recently..on R888..please becareful wink.gif

And if you have no concern on the sound..then go ahead with the tyres..bearing in mind the above mentioned conditions =P

EDIT: I worn my RE001 in 8 months..thread rating at 220..so yeah..

Lol..that's me being siao kia laaa..go Genting and masuk track (once for that tyre lifespan) laugh.gif

But..that's what you get..less threadwear = more grip (theoretically speaking)

But I've got a friend on FZ201 with threadwear of 60..still going strong..I'd say about 60% +- threadwear balance since last year..provided he drive cruising most of the time laugh.gif

my comment is that your question is out of topic and has nothing to do with R888

how he drive? brows.gif

as for treadwear, cant really depend on the numbers. my mom covered 55K Km on her RE050 which has 140 treadwear.. still got tread left.

anyways R888 no wet grip right? since it's a semi slick?
