Considering either tire for daily and road course events. I know there both different but seem to share the same charestics. Both seem to be good handling tires but from research seems like the r888r would have the edge in both handling and straight line grip.

The contis will obviously last longer. My only concern with the r888r is the noise that many speak of. I duno what there like hearing them inside the car especially with just only having a set in the rear but if they are darn impressive in straight line traction as well as handling then I'll put up with it.

If the conti ecs tires are not that far off in handling and straight line performance like the Toyos then maybe the continnentals will do. Any experiences with both tires or simply either one and how's the handling and straight line performance?
