I"m looking to buy a set of track day tyres and I'm limited by the size I require due running 18s on a classic (porker brakes).
HANKOOK R S2 Z212 semi slicks are the only brand I can find in this size from Camskill tyres. I'd like toyo R888 but are they available in this size?, what other tyres are recommended?.

I run 225/40/18 on my classic with only slight wheel arch mods and a bit of negative camber.I found the toyo R888 were actually slightly smaller than they should be so they dont catch anywhere, my car is also lowered quite a lot.

Did you have to roll the inner arch or do you think just running nagative camber should allow enough clearance, do you have any pictures of your car sitting on R888 and how many miles do they last?.

I did roll the inner arch's but mainly due to running the car low. On the road it was fine it was only on a trackday when they rubbed slightly. As for the negative camber i run with 2 degres on the front and 1.5 degres on the rear, any less then they would probably catch.
I am not sure how long the R888 are going to last as they have only been on for 1 trackday but dont think they will do many as they wore quite alot, i think i will be lucky to get 3 trackdays out of them.
