@glamcem "I know the R888s are notorious for being inconsistent and consistency is the main reason I picked NT01s over the hardcore lower TW R comps.. it seems like the NT01s are still the magic tire when all considered :/"
@rice_classic "I'd argue that the R888 is garbage in any weather, but that's just me. If someone gave me a set for free I'd immediately give them away."

I don't know about the track, but the Toyo R888 is definitely a very good tire for autocross-like purposes. It has good grip from the start and is even remarkably grippy in the wet (apart from hydroplaning at high speeds).
Practically everybody at our events is running on Toyo R888.
Occasionally one is running on Yokohama A048, but I don't recall anybody ever winning on those. The Toyo's don't do well at low tire pressures and high temperatures, but low tire pressures can be avoided and high temperatures don't occur on short 'stints'. Here's an example where the tires still reached close to 1 g at some corners despite being very wet.
