Considering my small amount of using decent tyres i prefer my AO48s on the saxo to my r888s so far but i might do a direct test one day however im using 14" AOs and 15" 888s
Oy thing ive found the AOs dont like is snow haha

Ive had both a048s and r888's, both in 15inch, I'd say the a048's edge it but not by the amount of the extra cost

They seem to have got a bit different recently, 15's are about £114ea for 888's and about £150ea for Yokos.
I managed to buy a pair of 2nd hand but new with stickers Yokos for £200 so it brought the price of four right down to £500 instead of £600.
Not looking forward to driving it to my mates garage tomorrow on them though.....should be a tad tail happy to say the least!

Why does everyone ask that? 
Avon slick in the wet... or ACB10's. water runs down hills unlike on flat circuits.

Choice...although they are sponsoring the British hillclimb c'ship this year.
Only really used them once, the grip is awesome, hillclimb compound (A15) so very soft.

Aah ok cool. Was talking to a guy t'other day about hill climb slicks. I never even thought about the fact that they need to 'come on' in about 50 yds and only need to be 'on' for a short blast.
Different altogether to circuit needs!

They need to be "on" right from the start, that why were allowed to warm our tyres before the start line. (see my sig)
