I'm sure everyone's mileage will vary. But in my experience on these cars at this type of power, the r888 will last just as long as higher treadwear rated tires. I'm sure if you mostly drive nice, regular tires will outlast. But I drive hard and floor it countless times a day... So for me, normal tires that are constantly spinning like crazy do not last any longer than R-compound tires that do not spin nearly as much. So for me it only makes more sense and I get more out of my car at no relevant sacrifice.

I have daily driven them and no complaints. I bet that there's a lot of people who would not consider them acceptable in the rain. I don't mind how they perform in the rain.
