R888R are definitely NOT as fast as GY SCF1 3R for road course lap times.

R888R are better for drag racing, and last longer than GY SCF1 3R under all conditions--street, strip, track.

R888R and R888 before them, have long been known to overheat and get greasy faster than better track tires like Hoosiers and Michelin PSC2s. R888R take longer to heat up, dont have the same level of peak grip as either Hoosier R7/A7 or PSC2, and fall off faster. Same is true of R888R vs. GY SCF1 3R.

No high end sports car manufacturer includes R888R as an OEM street/track tire--most, like Porsche, BMW, and Ferrari, use PSC2 or Pirelli PZero.

R888R is a very good high grip street and drag tire with longer life and tread depth than others, that's it IMO.
