Did fancy Toyo's R888 but i believe you don't get much mileage + u can't get them for the S2 wheels. So i'm looking for a compromise for road & track. At the mo i've got Goodyear Eagle F1's and can get these for approx £73 each from my tyres, thinking of trying the Yoko Parada's which i believe Stevo has on Missy (waiting for him to reply to my PM) can get these for just over £70 each.
Was doing a search on the net and came up with www.maxsport-competition-tyres.co.uk/ there RB5's look good for trackdays but yet again can't get them for the S2 wheels, they do them in 205/50/16 so the question is will these be ok with the higher profile Don't foget i can always adjust the hight of pinky to compansate
This place bkcompetitiontyres.co.uk/ do them for £52 each
Since i've been suffering from alot of understeer i was thing of fitting the RB5's to the front to get more grip but keeping the rears on a normal road tyre.
Michael wrote:I'd manage understeer by increasing the difference in tyre pressure between the fronts and the rears.
I.e. experience with (much) more pressure in the fronts. It will make our front wheel drive car 'loose' in the rear and give it a tendency to oversteer.

So, all in all, it's your choice and I'm not much help
