ZZR VS R888R

[rawsco]

I know the ZZRs are the defacto standard for the S2 Exige but are they worth a 170quid more a set than the Toyos?

Track and dry days.

I have a used set of zzr's in classifieds if you want to try them.

Consensus is the zzr's last a lot longer than 888's. They are far better on track I found as the 888's can go off after a few laps. Zzr's don't.

On the road there won't be much in it with the 888's marginally better on cold days.

Both pretty rubbish on wet roads.

Am I the only one still using AO48's?
Seems the ZZR is more popular these days, performance wise how do ZZR and AO48's compare?

48R will always be better on a dry track, but 5mm as opposed to 8mm, so wet weather performance will deteriorate more quickly as it gets down to 2mm.

Personally I think the ZZR's were better than A048's on track too. They are a very hard sidewall tyre though with very little flex so you notice the harshness on the road.

Went for the ZZRs, sorry Don fresh new rubber is just too nice!

I was really impressed with the ZZR. Shame I've just had to take em' off!

No worries. I'll get shot on seloc or eBay when I get a chance to list them.

Thanks, I'll look at the ZZR next time then. Although at my current 600 miles between MOT's I should be ok for a couple more years...

I've done plenty of wet road miles on ZZR's and never had a problem with them. They're not great in standing water though so I'm careful in heavy downpours.
They last well too, my fronts have done over 7k miles and 8 TD's! Maybe I should try harder

They don't feel great on track in the wet though, I fancy trying the ZZS's next, they're supposed to be better when it's wet.

Ive just ordered a set of ZZS from Wheelsaround for Frolic. Getting fitted next month. £200 ish more than AD08 but according to the reviews should last much longer.

Might go for the zzs as well... zzr aquaplaned at 50+ on the wet German roads and were almost undriveable on a wet spa.

Do you know if the ZZS are available in V6 sizes?

Edited to add.

I just checked and it's not.

I don't think ZZS's are available in S1 225/45/16 yet.
