ive got colway intermediates in super soft (in fact i bought the last 4!) , theyre pretty good, id assume they would a bit better in dry tarmac , but
your a bit shafted for wet conditions unlike the intermediates which are able to suck water off the road .
those just meet the minimum requirement for tread pattern , good for track days tho .
the size i have is 205/50/15 .

I paid the same price for a set of four 888's and I think I would rather stick with the Toyo's for a road based car. (Only IMO Obv.)

Im in the same situation. A friend rec. these RB5's. I called Ear Motorsport and had a chat with the guy who deals with those type tyres. He
said the same as mentioned earlier. There good but not great. The inside fronts wear v.quick on track and wet is awful. The 888 is a better road
biased tyre.
Ive still got the orig fitted when mine were made some Kumho's but rear are looking well worn so im scratching my head on what to get. Thinking
888's but looking for cheapest place!
