Carrera2RS:
Thanks guys.
Seems that adding another 10mm of tread is more trouble than it's worth.
I wonder how hard and noisy toyo 888's might be for everey day ? I drove an E30 M3 years ago on Dunlop Formula R's awesome grip but very, very hard compared to road tyres.

R888s are very noisy. But there is now a tyre situated between the R888 and normal road tyres called the toyo R1R. Its got a little more tread, and a better wear rate and most of the grip
Top Cat:
I have been running my track tyres all winter and at 20 mile an hour it sounds like a lolly stick, stuck in my spokes with a fine vibration at all other speeds. Have to say i actually love it. It certainly is not annoying. Just depends what you expect from your car, it is a family hatch at the end of the day. :happy2:

You may experiance the car wanting to tramline a bit more with the wider tyres although the larger "foot print" as a result of the bigger tyres will more then make up for it

I can only say thumbs up :happy2: for the Toyo R1R as i ran it all last summer, and there's still some left for use as track tyres this year. :pomppomp:
