Good tyre for fast road and track only...

[jenic]

I will be needing a couple of tyres this month, and want something new to try.

I've had 888's, and loved them, but not wanting to pay the price they are atm.

Now I have RS2's, not overly keen, dont really see them as any better than the average road tyre.

I'd like something in between, more grip than RS2's but doesn't necessarily need as much as the toyo's offered.

Heard about AD08's, any more that sort of fit the criteria?

Must be available in 195/50/15 and wont be used that much pootling around so just need to be good for fast road and track really

Not wanting them, more a budget road they are, like a T1R

Federal 525 RSR done.

Where do you buy these then?

Edit, found them on camskill, £75, not bad!

Getting a very good reputation especially with drifters who use them for sticky front tyres. A little bit behind a 888 in the dry but better in the wet making them a very interesting choice for road use as well.

Have you tried Paradas?

I've got some on my Scooby and they're really good!

If you liked the R888 then I'd buy a set now, they will rise again in price.

Most manufacturers are constantly watching over the price of raw materials and they are continuing to rise.

Bristol - behave, they're s**t

They're not! Anyway, i'm not talking to you...

Federal FZ-201, IMO better than a 888 although I've not had chance to try them in the wet.

Good point, I had forgot about that. This is another reason for increased prices.

Fred, Toyos plant I "think" was untouched but production was reduced.

Not tried parada's no, but I still dont want them

The 525's seem decent, going to try them I think
