    i run (GG) medium r888 on the back and soft a048on the front, the a048 are loads stickyer than the r888 in my opinion, once you get some heat into them they are brill!

    How long do they seem to last Smiffy? Wouldn't mind a set of R888s but can't justify the expense if they'll only last 2 or so trackdays
