R888R heat cycles

Reporting back on R888Rs. I've put about 55 heat cycles into my tires, 9 sessions worth (includes doing some back-to-back sessions or "double-dipping" in groups )

I felt after the 3rd event or 24 sessions in, tires were sliding a lot more. They aren't yet at the wear marks, but am surprised they are lasting this long. Good amount of tread still left.

Anyone have prior experience with these as far as grip and longevity? I would use my laptimes as a reference but it's almost rare to have clean non-traffic laps consistently to compare. I've run some of my best times in the 45-50HC range.

Also, I'm running 25psi cold on these, touching 31 when hot. Seems to be a sweet spot here as the slide/"slip angle" is very controllable and good breakaway feedback. I've been impressed with them so far.
