Not used R888's but can't imagine the pressures would be too far off 48's (which I have used). Used 24 for road and 22 for track... and then evetually just ran them at 22 the whole time when I noticed they were wearing quicker down the middle anyway.

The book says to run 48's at something like 28 from memory... I found that way to high, and if you are doing a lot of miles on the road you will definitely wear a strip down the middle at that pressure I think.

Probably best to have a play with different pressures and see what you like... I went for the same all round to try and dial out a bit of oversteer.

24/26 cold then when on track, do a few laps - they will go up to 30+ so let them back down to 26/28 ish hot..or maybe a little less...works for me smile
