What's the grippiest tyre?

[Oversteer]

Hi ZTH sifus.

I am looking to buy the grippiest road-legal tyres available. Intend to use for lapping Sepang and wet performance is a non issue.

Size i need is 235/40/18 for a 8.5" wide rim.

I have tried the following tyres which i have ranked in the order of grip, in my opinion:

1. Toyo R888
2. Pirelli PZero Corsa
3. Yoko AD07
4. Falken Azenis RT615
5. Dunlop Sport Maxx
6. Conti CSC3
7. Falken Ziex
8. Toyo T1R

The Toyo R888 is the obvious choice but would anyone recommend any other choices based on experience?

Also, what is a good price for Toyo R888 in 235/40/18 size.

Tks :wavey:

when i saw ur topic, i was thinking R888 and AD07 already....

Try michelin pilot sport cup. Highly rated but expensive.
I plan to use R888 for my next set, for track and DD.

Why not try Dunlop Formula R?

But for Cheap trills, some ppl use Goodyear Eagle RS Sport.

Both also dunno have your size or not...wow, you run 18's on track days...respect

Why not get real track tires like Silverstone FTZ Slick....they also have FTZ Type RR which is even Homologated for road use
Silverstone - High Performance Tyres
Look for competition tires.
