r888 tyres

[going_downhill]

I'm seriously in need of changing my tyres on the 5. I was thinking about getting a set of R888's in the 185 60r13 size to run on standard speedlines.

Does any1 have these fitted? I know they prob wont last all that long but I quite fancy seeing how the 5 handles with some modern shoes and with the choices of tyres for these rims becoming quite small they could be a good option?

had r888's on mine since august last year and there's loads of tread left, awesome tyre and no real problems in the wet

Thanks for the replys guys. I've had a quick search on the boards but I'm still undecided, do the 185 60 profile tyes look much different in appearance to the 195 55's? Or is there really nothing to worry about?

i'd say the profile is nothing to worry about,i've got the medium compound and dun over a 1000 miles on them still plenty of tread left
