Man they must be bumpy! Although I guess your car is on 16s.

Mine is really bad on broken roads with RE050As/S001 and the poly bushes. I'd always thought the R888s were softer than bridgestones for some reason

Event have some RE050as in stock, though they are very expensive at £150 each.

Going back on the car tomorrow - will save the R888s for next summer...

I have Bridgestone fronts and don't want to mix and match, and I may use them at Donington in October, I'd not be happy on the Falkens for that.

I won't be buying R888s again, despite them being great fun on track.

They are def too much of a compromise. I think for the winter as long as there is plenty of tread axle pairing tyresis fine. I see the point about Donny tho!
