you can get toyo r888s in that size very easily.
They are very sticky and you can get a full set for £650 ish fitted.

Try elitedirect.com.
micheldever tyres,
Bracknell tyres and batteries.

they wont last long tho. (4 track days tops)

Try the R888's you will not be disappointed. As for wear rates, 4 to 5 days maximum on Corsa's cups or R888's before they become illegal. So don't be put off by the cheapskate jibe on buying the Toyo's. They are a bloody good tyre and those that say they aren't have probably never ever tried them - they just go by what others say on websites like this.
