Yep - road legal

Yoko's will last longer than the 888's as they are slightly harder in comound and will survive 30 constant lapping on track before going too mushy. Wear is pretty good too if you get the cambers/pressures sorted.

DZ02G are a great tyre too and well worth trying but more money.

There is a great deal on the A048's in the SIDC shop.

btw - you will love any of them

I have been trying to find someone who has used Hankook Rs2 track day tyres....might be worth checking them out as they are well priced.

Think i,ll give them ago as my rubber is nearly finished.

DazzaSTi from the WYIOC has been using Hankook Rs2's on his Atom and he prefers them to R888's.

I too am quite interested in the RS2. A friend of mine has them on his Porsche and seems happy with them too

Yoko A048s are definitely road legal - my Lotus Exige came with them as standard. Can't say I'd recommend them when trying to get home on a rainy night though! Appalling in standing water

Protyre are advertising track tyres, toyo R888, michelin pilot sport cup, pirelli corsa of some kind and kumho V70A. Anyone got experience of the pilot sport cup or the V70A's?

Pilot Sport Cups are stunning in the dry. A very nice tyre on the scooby but I would not consider running them on the road - they are lethal in the wet and cold.

Are you guys after track tyres for grip on track or for showing off on the road?
