Hi All, What tyre choice are you running for 'normal' road use?
I've got 16" by 7" wheels with 195/50/16 tyres at the moment.
I am considering copying mattsmev and buying a second set of wheels with r888's for track use, then running a road set. I like the look of the R1R but they are not available in the required size. I could go up to 225/45/ZR16 on the 7" wide wheels, not sure how good this would really be though? Otherwise Continental Sport Contact 2 or T1R's are the likely options? Always been impressed with the Continentals on the ST's I have had..
Thanks, Paul

I'm using Toyo Proxes 4 for road use and they are fine, I think the T1-Rs look better though.

We've done a couple of trackdays now, and the Toyo Proxes 4 were OK, but we bought a set of R888's for the track and cannot recommend them highly enough, I'm still necking ibruprofen now for the neck pain and it was a week and a half ago... proxes are fine for the road though

Hello, Not got experence with tyres on the rocket (yet) but had a track day clio sport and found that Toyo R1's were a great road tyre and really good in the wet! R888's were great in the dry or damp! has anyone tried slicks?? would think the grip on those would be amazing!!!!

Another option...
I have Yoko Parada spec II's fitted... (along with a couple others I noticed at the AMM) they perform absolutely fine on the road...
