Trofeo R vs Pilot Sport Cup vs R888

Hi, guys:

My Pilot Sport Cup on my 997.2 3.8 GT3RS is almost done.

So I wonder how do you guys rate Trofeo R vs Pilot Sport Cup vs R888 for track and road?

Ran a set of trofeo's on my 3.8 rs when they very first came out. They lasted half a tack day. I may have had a dodgy set, my geo may not have been perfect then - but the tyres were awful. Probably had 8 sets of cups and they are the daddy's in every way. Porsche developed the car on them and it shows IMHO.

I don't like R888.

But How about Trofeo R vs Pilot Sport Cup N1+?

We don't sell the Trofeo, but I have heard they are quite good in the rain. Overall, Cups still seem to be more popular.

I have never tried 888's - my post is referring to cups being much better. Than trofeos for the3.8 rs.
Don't compromise, Porsche set the car up on them, they just feel right.
Have you had the car set up properly - toe in, rake, camber etc? That will make the most difference.

I haven't driven the Trofeo's, but on my 993TT at Watkins Glen, the Cups are superior to the R888's-outside of the Cups, for the track, the only thing I would use besides the Cups are slicks.
