Yokohama 021-R

Not quite as full-on as Yoko 048 or Toyo 888, but still very grippy.
Work well in the wet.

George Polley is best for price, so just wait until there is a local race meeting and get some tyres fitted and have a day out.

I really like my Toyo R1-Rs. Not cheap, but apparently much the same compound as 888s but better in standing water.
