I guess, Every car that comings stock from factory with Pilot Sport Cup II can't drive on/in the Streets/Rain...

Plus, do what you like it's your car...

There are many choices for tires. Telling people not running track tires because they are driving a "performance" car and expecting them to change their minds just isn't happening. I could put Michelin A/S3s on the GS F and be perfectly happy for the car's primary purpose - hauling the kids, getting groceries, taking the wife to and from work safely. I could do the same for my IS F and Supra for 99% of my driving.

Buy tires that deliver what you need for the driving you do. If you track the car AND you are concerned about lap times, then get a spare set of wheels with competition tires. If you just want to safely explore the car's limits, run whatever is on the car and you'll have fun, learn a lot, and not find yourself on rubber that will suddenly decide traction is no longer available as competition tires like to do.

Rears are always toed in. Only a fool sets rear toe to zero. Even the live axle guys know this.

R888 isn't sold as streetable. PS Cup is, but only to be allowed in DOT tire competition. You can ask my friend with the ACR Viper about how streetable Cup tires are, except the car is no more. ACR Vipers were sold with PS Cup tires that didn't say that on the sidewall. I am plenty familiar with them and their performance.

Just installed my third set of PSS and they ride noticeably better than my previous set. Same size tire but 3 pounds lighter for the rears 285/30 20. For those saying they've had issues in the rain, I've never had issues unless I really try and get on it. I've actually been quite impressed with the way they handle in the wet. I'm in Florida and it rains every day herein the summer.
