All the quick GT3 guys rate hoosiers or cups miles ahead of 888s.
One of the guys I know well had a toyo technician come out with us as we were suffering delam on the tyres. It was determined for us 35psi hot was the optimum temp up front on the gt3 and a couple more on the rear.

Quite possibly they don't work on the csl due to the different weight distribution - but they work fine on the GT3. It's a matter of budget really. I don't think I'd say they're the fastest tyre, but they are far better than any road tyre and in 18" cost the same as one.

Each to their own. If you want premium, avoid them, if you want a set of 18" tyres that are nearly 1/2 the price of the others, they're ok.
