what size for trackday tyres

[a1rak]

My cerb has 255 35 18 tyres on the rear and 225 35 18 on the front for the Road. Yoyo Proxies.

Can anyone tell me what make and size of trackday tyres they use on 18 inch spider rims. And has anybody got some for sale?

Same size but Toyo 888s sounds like a good start. Camskill are usually the cheapest.

Haven't tried any of those Yoyos coz I heard they send you all over the place but the Toyo Proxies I use seem to work OK
(Five laps of Spa and they have to come in for a cool down though)

ETA I've heard a lot of peeps swear by 888s but - depending om your Track Day experience - You might be safer (at this time of year) with rubber that you already know which has a more regular traction characteristic

I agree with Paul. The Proxies are fine in the normal sizes if you are an occassional track day bod, and the R888s are great if you are a regular.

I happen to have 265s on the rear of mine (Proxies) which is great in the dry, but a little trickier in the wet.

If you are a regular though, a number of the die hards have a seperate set of wheels, and often 17" size.
