    RS-3s are kinda meh. if R888s didn't work below 60f, they'd be completely unusable 90% of the time here.

      I think R888s have a little better performance below 60 than R-S3s. However, if you have an open diff or failing clutches, watch out.

      I ran a set of R888s on the street and they were a lot less pliable towards the end of their life.
      Running a 3 clutch medium case LSD, bimmerworld clutches and .1mm oversized dog ear plates. I can spin 195's with ease and 225's on a cold day.

        If you get heat into either tire they start working a lot better, even if it is cool (50+) outside. However, you don't get them into operating range on the street, unless your name is wh33lhop.

            Yep, I think it was 40 my first session at the last track day. It took half the session to really get them working.
