I dont understand how you came to that conclusion? My 888's up front on my Ek9 lasted me around 5 months. That set didnt touch a track and wasnt daily driven. I cant believe how fast they ware thats why i refuse to buy another set as the cost does not justify them being used as a road tire.

The performance they give are incredible, on track they are just superb.

Ive used the potenza RE11, brilliant tire also but so expensive and only available in Japan. I think Nengun can get them in.
