Road legal slicks
tony_danza:
Have a look at Hankook's track day tyres they get really good reviews, the Z211s and Z212s are somewhere in between an R888 and a road tyre. Yoko Parada Spec 2s likewise. All are a bit snappy on the road in the wet though, so be careful.
Be prepared to race through R888s, heavy car + not being smooth will see them gone in no time. Amazing grip though :notworthy:

If you can put up with them in the wet i would pick the Yoko A048's any day... there a bit more expensive, but the grip on them is awesome compared to the toyos.
you just have to be "sensible" in the wet tho :happy2:
i think these will be going on for my next Nurburgring trip :smiley:

R888 is the way to go.. Its not an extreme tyre and can be used on the road everyday, I used mine in the snow lol! Not really advised though.. :grin:
A048's are good too.. I have had at one point a set of slicks which I had some cuts put in, just so they 'looked' legal and they were amazing, but again.. Not advised!
Just to let you know, I have a set of part worn R888 in 235/40/18 (which is fine for your wheels) for sale at £200.. They dont really have much life left in them but its a very cheap way of checking if you like them or not?
Let me know..

Dunlop wets for the ultimate grip...
