I can say for sure that the R888R definitely does not carry the same level of grip as the VR2 Medium Compound, despite the lower tread wear rating. At the same time, while the dirt-cheap VR2 costs $400 for a set, they only last 3-4 days before seriously dropping off, so there is a trade-off here.
At first I was driving the car the same way as with the VR2 and the tires just could not handle it and do what I was asking. After playing with tire pressures and wing AOA, I needed to step back, reset all the changes and adjust my driving style to account for it. I'll also look at cornering G differences later when I download all the data.
