<div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black;"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">The R888 is not going to be more prone to puncture than any other lower TW rated tire. The R-comp "not suitable for highway use" disclaimer is mandated, but not all R-comps are the same. e.g. Would I use Hoosier A7's on the street? Nope, they're basically slicks and soft as hell. But, the treaded R-comps I've never shied away from, whether RA1, R888, Victoracer etc etc and have never had a problem, This is on many cars, not just my Tiger.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">They will wear much faster, they will not have the same type of siping capability of a true all weather street tire and they will likely bring more impact harshness to the table. But, first time you commit to a turn at a "spirited" rate of speed, you'll appreciate the grip :)</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">Agree on the increased loads to suspension components. Make sure everything is in good shape, especially bushings and bearings.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Jay <jay.laifman@gmail.com><br>To: Rob Hogan <robertdhogan@gmail.com><br>Cc: blance598@gmail.com <blance598@gmail.com>; Tigers <tigers@autox.team.net><br>Sent: Sun, Feb 7, 2021 9:38 am<br>Subject: Re: [Tigers] Tires<br><br></div><div id="yiv7668104048"><div>I don’t know about other dangers. For example, are road tires designed to be more puncture resistant because roads are apt to have more sharp objects? Are road tires designed to stand up to harsher shock if they hit a pot hole?
