I have R888s on my Cobra 275/305 front/rear.

They stick like glue.

Got caught in a thunderstorm. It was so bad that you could see an inch of water on the ground. Drove 40mph with no problems.

Yes I would buy them again. Going up to 315s in the rear.

Let's see how these do when I'm at ~520ish later.

thanks
