Good points; the car will not see rain though, i try to avoid it. Do you think abs will have that much of an issue? RE71Rs don't have quite as much grip as the R888Rs, but they are not far off. If it were not for the wheel spin i get, i would probably just get a set of the RE71Rs. Honestly, i need a 11-12" wheel in the back in addition to the R888Rs.



Its not that i can't afford them, i don't want to be changing them every 6-7k miles....want something that lasts a little longer. And i've never heard anyone say RE71R & R888R were not proper tires.
Yes proper tires but to mix tire brands has been done before but you would have to do a lot of testing so you know how the car will handle so you don’t hurt you’re self. Then you will need a new set of tires . Any sticky tire won’t last long. Mods are just expensive
