I like the federal rsr 595. Very good track day tyre for the money IMO, and doesn't wear at crazy rates.

What surprises me about them is their on track wear (which is pretty good) and their grip at this time of the year.
I normally put my F1 Assym 2s on for the winter, but I have left the AD08s on since a track day on the 6th of Dec and I am pleasantly impressed. They knock the Bridgestone RE070s into a cocked hat for cold/wet grip, that's for sure!
Problem is that I will have to use the Assyms at some point to get my monies worth out of them. Not a bad problem to have I guess.
