Tyres for track use

[Camoradi]

Hi,

A little tyre advice please. My track day wheels (CR500s on 15" wheels) have about one track day left in them and I am looking to change to 13 x 6 wheels. I only do about 6 track days per year and the car is a 125 sigma roadsport so not a lot of power. Does anyone have any recommendations on tyres. Price doesn't seem to exclude anything but I don't want to spend money on fantastic tyres which will be past their sell by date before I wear them out. (I'm a tight git at heart ) I tend to drive quite smoothly and try to maintain traction rather than any dramatics.

I think I will be going for 185/60/R13 and have narrowed it down to one of...

Toyo R888R - tried and tested, mid price
Avon ZZS - safe (but more expensive) choice. Think these are 185/55/13
Dare I say it.... Nankang NS2R (120 compound)? I've not yet found anyone who has used these, although a lot of people seem interested in them

Does anyone have any opinions on the above or alternate recommendations?

many thanks

Kevin

Many thanks Andy. I think the Avons may win over in the end.

Peter, I assume you mean the V70A. For some reason they haven't come up during my searches so thanks for the heads up. They sound like a good option too.

Thanks all. I think the R888s will win out of the above. Having said that there is an inch of rain forecast for Pembrey tomorrow so I think I'll be tip-toeing round on my road tyres, or sitting in the car drinking coffee with the wipers on intermittent. You gotta love the British summer
