Hi all,

Rear tyres on my S2 NA Exige are down to ~2.2mm i need to think about changing them in the nearish future.

Currently run R888's front and rear which must be about 6 years old now and like them, in all circumstances beyond being caught in the rain....

Car is used for weekend blasts and hopefully the odd track day if I can get in under the noise limits, only in the rain if I'm unlucky enough to get caught out.

Currently tossing up between:

Yokohama AD08R
Toto R888R
Nankang NS2R

Which of these (or others) would you recommend?

Was joined by a mate in his Exige Sprint last night, he had moved from A048 to Avon ZZR. Car only used on summer dry runs and odd track. Seems pleased with them.

I was at a soaking wet, cold Hethel track day last year and the cars on Avon ZZRs were coping amazingly well - better than my worn non-track road rubber at the time.

More road than track, AD08R

More track than road, ZZR

Thanks all, mainly road (although weekend hooning over commuting), trying to do more track work but get knocked by noise limits.

After other advice too think I'll get a set of AD08R's on order

I can vouch for AD08R, they are great tyres. Only summer dry use for me on the road.
