  Good Dry/Warm weather track day tyre?
  Thread starter Brooky182
  I have tried the search but can't find the answer.
  Have wet/mixed weather tyres sorted with Toyo T1R on my 182 set of wheels but they melt when its hot and dry from experience. So have invested in a set of 15" wheels to get a good set of track rubber for when its warm and dry etc.
  Not running cage etc so dont want slicks but just wondered if there is a cheaper option than going for the Yoko Ad048 or Toyo 888 that people have got on with?
  Or shall i just bite the bullet and spend £360-£370 on a set of the Ad048's
  595RSR are a nice all rounder and that little bit cheaper than 888 etc
  If you want to spend £320 get a set of Toyo R888. If you're wanting to spend around £250 get a set of Federal RSR or Nankang NS2-R.
  All will be better than the T1R's.
  Just for clarification in case anyone is confused, they are two different tyres by Yokohama - the AD08 and the more track-focussed AO48.
  AO48 similar to Toyo R888
  AD08 similar to Fed RSR, Nankang NS2-R & Toyo R1R
  yes, broadly speaking thats not a bad generalisation.
  Cant find the RSR's for anywhere near £250 for 4? Any links
  They go up down like made mate.
  Just a case of keep hunting.
  There was a link on here recently at 55 quid I ordered some from, then a few days later I decided to order some more and same link was 75 or something.
  81 now, and this was only a few weeks ago too!

  crazy how it changes its worse than bitcoin!
  Wow, just looked for you. They have gone up in the last 12 months. I bought a set last year for £240 now they are closer to £300 a set.
  Still a good tyre for the price but for that little bit more £320 I'd go Toyo R888 personally.
  Edit: I've just bought a set of Nankang NS2-R for circ £250 (Camskill have them on offer).
  Where are the toyo's £320? please buddy
  I got a pair for GBP 175.20 about 5 weeks ago, but cant find at the same price now, that was mytyres who are now 125 each.
  320 though, I havent seen them that cheap for 4 for probably about 3 years!
  I'd be extremely careful though. In the matter of 40 minutes they have gone from £81 per tyre to £116 per tyre.
  Also Federal RSR have gone up a few £.
  116 each on openeo at the moment

  40 minutes ago they was £81 each which is highly suspicious and has put me off using that site...
  Ive just ordered the Federals Chip linked to earlier as i cant be arsed to look any more.

  They did have a set of soft compound for a bit more bit these will do for now.
  Thanks gents for the help
  That's strange, I saw them at £81 too. I've used oponeo twice this year and they've been great
  888's are currently 88.50 on my tyres

  They were 125 on mytyres this afternoon. Wtf?!
  There always seem to be 2 prices on mytyres, the cheap one at 86-90 quid and a higher one at 112-116 quid. I've just saved the cheap link into my favourites. Not quite sure why and for what reason the different prices are but again I can confirm the cheaper ones are normal 888's in GG compound, why anyone would buy at the higher price is beyond me.
  Rsr £60 posted on tyreleader.co.uk
  Just got a set of AD08-Rs from Blackcircles for £310 delivered, works out closer to £300 with triple clubcard points. They are also good when it's damp/wet too which is a bonus not having to change wheels over during a TD.
  RSR are good in the wet too, and in the dry.
  Not tried RSRs. Sticking with AD08s as I know they're good. I think the AD08s also have more tread depth than some of the others - which goes some way to justifying the extra cost.
