Default ME880 vs 888
What say ye?

Is the 888 just the latest and greatest version or is there profound reason to get one over the other??

Saw another Slim with a 880 150 on the rear and the profile of this is the best looking tyre I've seen yet.

888 is suppose to be a longer mileage tire from what I understand. The 880 is getting phased out.

880's are no longer in production, replaced by the 888. If you get 880's check the manufacturing date on them. I run 888's and like them.

Don't the 888's run a little wider and taller then the same size 880?

I can't say, but if they do I can't see a difference in their appearance
