Default Trackday tyres

Hey all just wondering where you guys get the tyres above from. I've looked Ebay,Camskill and JJC the usual places. Just to compare prices. What I've noticed is I'm struggling to find tyres in OEM sizes.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I got my R888s from Demon Tweeks

They have 225/50 or 245/45 for the rears in stock, and 205/55 in stock for the front.

If you have 17s, they have fronts available within 7 days and rears in stock.

Mytyres are often cheapest for R888 and A048.

Avon ZZRs are the current must-have tyres for sprinting and hillclimbing.

Look at Blackcircles and I believe Ears Motorsport sell track tyres as well.

Unconventional but it would be interesting to put a set of 15s on an S2000 with 195 width track rubber, bet it would feel great losing all that weight from the wheels and tyres and not having such a surplus of grip.

Nice bit of gearing from the smaller wheels too!

Tempted! But due to the wider size will it cause any issue like rubbing or what not? Mines is already quite low already

Yeah the Kumho V70a will be another option plus it's cheaper then the rest.

Depends on your wheel size / offset?
