...I like 888. Would be interested how they perform as there has been mixed comments on them for the CSL.

The 888R is the control tyre for both TTRS and CTCRC race series, shod onto all sorts of machinery including E30/E36 M3 with between 250 and almost 400bhp as well as Cossies and they seem to work well as long as the cambers/tyre pressures are right so would suggest it's a great budget track-day tyre. Highly recommended as a tyre, not sure how it would handle the extra weight of a CSL though (A race E30 M3 weighs about 1000kgs). Might be worth using a tyre conditioner to keep the temps down for hard 'Ring laps.

Al little feedback for the R888s:
I've had them on the road now for a week on a set of 18" 265/35 + 235/40. When I fitted them it was raining and went out to test them in the wet and I was pretty confident on them. Last weekend I went on a 300 mile run and was pretty impressed with there performance overall. I got speaking to someone in a GT40 and he noticed my R888s and he said that he runs them on his GT3 RS which he tracks and he has been happy with them with no issues, he hasnt tried the Cups so couldn't compare... I've yet to get them on the track and test them to the extremes getting them to optimum temp so will keep you posted.
