Ekona Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Don't mix tyres. See the Sticky in Tyres as to why this is a bad idea. If you can afford it then go for either Pilot Sport 2s or R888s all round, or just match what you've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would switch them for ps2's all round if you really want to enjoy the ring. I do wonder about the R888's, only ever seen them on proper trackday cars, would like to try some though.

Ekona Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Best tyres you'll ever put on your car, as long as you're aware of both their massive grip levels and their shortcomings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Zeddy Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I run the R888's. Best grip in the dry bar none and they'll have far more grip and last better and be more progressive and predictable on track than high performance road tyres. The R888s will still be quicker in the damp and slightly wet but once it comes to having to displace water they'll loose their advantage.
