hoosier or kumhos are similar. r888 is a treaded tire that will last a little longer at the expense of max traction and can be used as track/street/rain tire, the other two are dry track use only and will not last as long.

any one of these is a good option for roadcourse assuming you have already found the limits of street tires. what are you specific goals? dual use? price efficiency? max performance?

If you are looking for a track only tire, you might want to consider these:



I am at $1576 shipped, for a set of 30/65 and 31/71's (fronts and rears).

BTW, they are the fastest tire out there.
Let me know if I can help.
