These are true R compound tires that are great at the track and street legal with the intent to go to and from events. As a daily driver the longevity makes them very impractical and hold on to your azz if you run into standing water on a rainy day.

my buddy had NT-05 grips very well but also didn't last long only for 4500kms.

so I guess R888 is not an issue here. But 265 will fit fine
