I want to get some rubber on my cxrs.
What to go for though?
From what i've read r888's are meant to be good.
What would you chaps recommend?

I fitted R888's from new. 3,500 miles over the past two years, on both dry and wet roads, dry and wet trackdays.
Can't complain, then again, got nothing to compare them too!?!?
Cheers
Mike
Mine are R888's and I love them, when up to temperature, not great on salted roads or puddles, but so long as you know there a semi slick it's fine, and i think there great!
Depends on the size and what the car is used for. I have purchased R888's for mine (on 13 inch rims). I cant wait to try them out. If the go as
well as they look, they will be pretty damn special!
The downside is, they wear much quicker than a normal tin-top tyre and they cost a bit more - but they are designed for the job (as opposed to be
designed for a 1500kg tin top!)
Another vote here for the R888's.

Ive got yoko Paradas on my 205 track car, they seem to wear well, good in the wet, awesome in the dry..
888's! Great, when they're warm!

looks like it's the 888's then.
Now to find somewhere local that does a good price

£71.00 for 205 X 50 X 15 collected..................my son works in a garage so he can fit em for nothing, well he gets to drive the car which
helps.......
I paid £260 fitted but that's at a garage local to me, and not really anyone else on here it seems!
Steve
888's for me but they havent seen the road yet! 
Got the 888's fitted just down the road, £280.63 happy with that price tbh
Just phoned a local tyre and exhaust place and they do 4x 205/50/15 fitted for £282 inc. VAT which seems like a good deal to me. And xmas is just round the corner!
