R888 choice

I've been offered two versions from my local supplier either soft or medium compound, what are most people running?

They are priced at 60+vat for medium and 66+vat for soft fitted and balanced is this a good/average/poor deal?

Mark


Sorry size is 195 50 15

Good deal! I went for soft (not super soft).

the medium compound is fine, the soft compound, in my opinion, is not really suitable for long term road use, it was primarily designed as a sprint tyre

Medium compound should be fine and that's a very good price! I paid £260 fitted/balanced etc and I thought that was the cheapest I'd heard of!

I regularly use the medium compound on the road and track. I just give time to warm up in the cold n wet.
