track day tyres
i have tried cup2s and R888R for the standard CSL wheels and I much prefer the R888R. After 4 track days the grip is still consistent and it is less affected by heat cycles. This includes a scorching bedford day tuesday past.
Can anyone suggest where to start looking for replacements? I like to buy them ahead of time .. Tx |

AR 1 is found in 19 but the rear is 265/35/R19 instead of 263/30/R19
NS2R still doesn't have R19s DZ03G also not found in R19 |

Would love someone to try the accelera 651 sport semi slicks
They are cheap as chips but are raved about in the drifting scene. Csl sizes are £300 a set. |

certainly seems cheap. less than half the cost of R888R
won't last as long but will it grip as well? btw is tyreleader still a good place to buy. they have the cheapest R888R due to different load rating. 89 for the rears which are in line with the original cups |

Another tyre worth looking into is the Advan AD08R.
Its a bit more expensive than the R888R but alot more capable in the wet and not as sensitive to tyre pressures. Grip wise in the dry the R888R is a bit better but it will wear out quicker from what i was told. So for me if you dont have a dedicated set of trackday wheels i wouldnt go for the R888R.
