On Asphalt, I lose traction in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and sometimes 5th. I wouldn't wish these on my drag rival. As for comfort they're very comfortable. But hooking up is a joke. As soon as these get close to wearing out, I'm on the Michelins PSC2s or the Toyos 888s, probably the former as I heard the Toyos transfer too much road noise.
Yep, the R888Rs sound like a monster truck, my friend. I've heard that the new Nitto 555R-II is much quieter and hooks very well.
