I guess this review gives a thumbs up to the new R888R albeit in a limited fashion as their car broke down. OTOH autox comparos in 30 second runs is neither here nor there as compared to 30mins road course stints. And indeed RS4 could perform very differently there. Either way, a clear sign that uber street tires have gotten very close to "R-comps" except perhaps for prolonged heat management (and this would be expected IMO).
Speaking of tires, a forum member OminouSS loves Cup2s on his ZL1 and he ain't a novice by any means. He's now on his 3rd or 4th set (last one being the first brand new set to boot!). You can see his vids and comments in Road Course section of the forum.
So, it looks like we have at least 3 decent choices for tires on stock rims: GY stockers, RE71R in 295 square and Cup2 in square or slight stagger. This ain't bad, albeit not as plentiful as 19 inch choices of course, especially with a wider, 10.5F wheel.
