Default tyres help

Hi there Im back off over to the ring again this year last couple of year Iv taken my bike or my old gold tdgti which I always had parada spec2's on which worked well with the car.
The question is has anyone had a set of rubber on the scooby that they recommend for the road and track? As Iv only ever had all weather tyres on my sti I dont fancy the bill of loosing it and stuffing it on the ring

mucho thanks

Just ordered a set of Toyo R1R to be fitted this Saturday, have good reviews on these new comer, should be good for road and track. Cost £114 + vat for 205/50/16 classic.

Ive got toyo t1r's all round on my classic, good grip and very predictable. Only problem is that they are road tyres, not too good on track.

What about Toyo R888's? or Yokohama A048-R's? Both exspensive, but mind bending grip. Also these will help keep you on the black stuff!! lol

Hi Tony

We are using the new Yokohama AD08 as a road going track tyre, prices are reasonable too.
What size you got fitted??

Thanks
