In some cases the R888's last longer than the Locosts

6k miles is about right I guess. So you don't need another set of tires.

I have standard road tyres, the fronts wear about half as fast as the rears. The rears are presently 3mm so have used up 4mm in 8 1/2K miles





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I do the rear 888's each year in under 5000miles with 3 or 4 track days added in. Fronts have done two years and will be good for another.
