Next time out I'll try "a little" more pressure.
Thanks!

The change in tire pressure wasnt noticeable in terms of feel, but I was averaging .5-1.5 sec faster per lap. It honestly doesn't make the car feel any better, but it is faster in my experience with them (on two different cars).
I just don't like them because of the price to grip factor. For the price close to the A6/R6 or R1, they don't even come close in terms of grip/time. On the other hand, the RA1 were slow, but they could last 3x as long. It's all about grip to life to cost factor for me, I just don't see the reason of getting the R888 unless you absolutely need to drive the car to an event and in bad weather. There is a reason why Toyo is re-releasing the RA1......
I was a long time lover of the RA1 on my 350z, then I sold the car and got a C6, I used R888 on it for 2 years, then I moved to a RX-8 where I tried R888/R1/Dunlop street tires.
