Looking for some advice really.

Currently got Kumho V70 track day tyres, love them absolutely brilliant but not in stock now till next year and with two track days coming up in the next couple of weeks I will need replacements in a week or so.

The only track focused tyres I can find that are stocked in the UK are the Yoko AD08, has any one tried them and if so are they any good?

If any one has another suggestion of a tyre that they have experience of I am all ears

Prime concern is grip.

Hi Martin

I have Fedral FZ201 on mine which I think are better than R888s. If you want to give them a go I can dig the number of the guy who will be able to sort a set out for you.

Thanks Graham, out of stock, and not due in the country till spring I believe although I have not tried Nick yet, will give him a ring in the morning, I still have his number so no need to dig it out for me.

Thanks, will keep them in reserve, good long lasting tyre the FZ-201 take the grip levels to the next level as do the Kumho V70's which are my preference, the Cerb feels so sure footed on these, the very stiff side wall works brilliantly with the Cerb.
