Road legal slicks
Hurdy:
Law is allegedly going to change in around 3 years. The tyres will still be legal, just not on a road :grin:
I've just bought some TOYO R888's, but Yokohama A048's are supposed to be the bees knees too.
If you want ultimate grip over waer then the reports are that the TOYO's have the edge. If you go for TOYO's go for the medium rated ones (GG).
The A048's will last longer, but I've heard that they are even twitchier in the wet than the TOYO's due to the slightly harder compound.
JonnyC is probably the best man to get an opinion on these, but he chose TOYO's too :wink:
Edit:- Just beat me to the 3yr thing Robin :grin:
Hurdy:
Mojo, what size alloys do you have?
What car are you putting them on?
I've ordered 225/45/17's to go with some 17" Pro race's.
The 17" TOYO tyres have 7mm wider contact patches than the 18" tyres (225/40/18), so should have more grip too. :happy2:
Hurdy:
Here are some specs for you for the R888's.

Your only option with that alloy would be the 225/40/18 tyre if you went with TOYO. The others all need wider alloys and yours are 7.5" wide.
