I agree with above comments about the R888's. I love them as DD and track use on my GT3RS. Would recommend them hands down.

To above comment, the Nitto INVO's were a grave disappointment. Their sidewalls are terrible. Soft, no hardcore structural integrity, bouncy and mushy on hard cornering. Maybe good in just a straightline but that's not the life of a GT3/RS.

btw what are the prices of the Pirelli Trofeos? May have to raid the kids college fund.

Ranger, I respect your opinion, however this turbo owner has his car set up pretty well for a twisty ride and I have been more than impressed with this tires ability to give me confidence (which I never had before with the turbo due awd feel as appose to the S I previously had) through twisties. While I am not making a comparison of turbo to GT3/rs, I am stating that this tire is as good as the 888 that you recommend. I also know plenty of people who have been disappointed by the 888's but this just shows that its all in what makes you feel comfortable.

Same here, for the track anyway as soon as the thread goes away, no grip and they cord much faster then RA1's.. You might as well get R6.

For road driving I have the 4 x 4 threaded General tires, cheap, funner to drive in the dry and won't kill you in the wet, like the Cup's do.
