Toyo R888 and Pilot Sport Cup are quite equally fast on a dry track.
Toyo's are sticky when cold and also on wet while Pilot Sport Cups need to be heated and can be slippier on a wet track.
Toyo's are noisy though.
Hope this helps a bit.

i will be getting the ccw c10's i think 9'' front and 12'' rear.
the 255/35/18 and 315/30/18 ok thanks that should be the proven set-up as far as the toyo's go.
but the mpsc's they do not make a 255. they make a 265 and 315 will this front tire fit,and handle correct.
any problems with toyo's slipping on the rim. john at ccw also said they were also going to experiment with balancing the rim, and than balance the tire separtely, by putting a tire tube type of patch in the tire,so that if the tire does spin on the rim, that it will always be in balance.

Ryan, how much time did you gain going from 245/305's to 255/315's ?. I am trying to finish my second set of 245/315's, but these R888's wear like steel :-). Either way they will be finished 2 weekends from now when we go to Moroso, which can finish brand new tires in a weekend. I too use the CCW wheels and I keep on looking at the clearance up front with my current 245's and get nervous about 255's, but I guess because it is a shorter tire it will fit.
