Yes another tire question, but one I have not been able to get an answer to..
Looking for a track tire for next season, since prices/availability seems to be very different in Europe (vs. the US), I'd like some feedback with those options.
I usually do about 10-15 minute sessions, ideally looking for a tire with the most possible grip, but also don't want them going off, with half the tread left.
Basically I've come up with 3 options:
1. Toyo R888R (costs about 230 euros in stock size), alot of my friends are using them with good results, they claim grip lasts even when thread is basically gone.
2. Yokohama A048 (roughly 270 euros in stock size), hear conflicting stories about them loosing grip suddenly, when they still have plenty of tread.
3. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (roughly 160 euros in stock size). Probably less grip / more of a street tire than the first two? Also hear different stories about how they grip when not new anymore.
I just checked tirerack and was amazed at the prices in the US, the cup2's are more than double, what they are here, and R888R's are basically half of what they are here...
