They look fast and sticky as a sticky thing ;)

They are GG compound but do feel softer than the original old pattern 888's.

I've not heard any Westie related feedback on them yet, so looking forward to seeing how you get on with them.

Didn't get them in time for last Saturdays trackday, not going on another till September.

 

Bought at my local tyre shop, cost me £5 more than the cheapest on line price and that was all inclusive.

Wow, not worth the hassle of getting online, with that sort of deal. In fact online would probably cost more by the time you've paid for fitting.

Yep,   Jet Tyres are only 200 yards from me and always come up with a competitive price.

I've just swapped from 888 to zzr only done about 30 miles but the tram lining has gone and they feel a lot less susceptible to changes of road surface

I've got some on my car they seem to grip really well. I'd say they grip better than my soft a048's. I've got 225/50/15's I would say they are less progressive and once they give up they just go.

Happy days on the price, my local place is also as good at getting tyres as online, and fits & balances anything you bring him for £10 a corner.

Keep us posted on how they go.
