I know they say the R888's are road legal but they look a bit too track oriented for me?
If you were unlucky enough to get caught in heavy rain would they clear the water fast enough?

I have the older T1-s tyre's but the newer T1-R look a very nice tyre.

Ran R888's on a Nissan 200 for a trip to Nurburgring - In normal rain and normal speeds all ok.
Torrential rain they felt a bit "skittish" but suspect any tyre would have been similar.
Far outweighed by the handling in the dry - wicked !!!
