Mess up the handling? Well, you might feel a slight difference if you look for it.
R888 do stick better in the rain. But I want to be very clear what I'm saying with that statement. The compound seems to have a bit more grip on cool, damp pavement. But they are NOT more hydroplane resistant than the A048. If the water is anything more than a skim coat on the surface, you should be very very careful with either of these tires. Let's be honest, they're basically a slick with a few diagonal grooves cut in them to make them street legal. Neither one of them will evacuate standing water very well. Combine that with a very light weight car and they're going to act like water skis when you run over a puddle.
