Steve, I doubt that any tyre would have behaved sufficiently differently to allow you to have caught that spin.
I've used the 14" R888's on my Indy for the last 2 1/2 years, wet or dry, and even on one occasion in 3" of snow! They have
been brilliant on the road, only ever "going off" when on the trackday at Teesside.
However I haven't had the chance to try a back to back comparison with other tyres.
I have now bought a set of 13" wheels, and need to decide what to shoe them in. It's coming down to Yoko A048's / Yoko A539's
or another set of R888's.
The only slight thing I would have said, and it's been said before, fit 13" wheels rather than the larger sizes. If 13" is good
enough for Caterham / Westfield and the Locost Racers, then it's good enough for me.
Cheers
Mike
P.S. I had a set of the Avon ZZ3's on my E39 BMW 540i V8 and it was almost un-drivable in the wet, with drifting round diesel soaked
roundabouts almost compulsory. Combine that to the fact that a set of 4 only lasted me 6,000 miles and I wouldn't use them again!
