I believe it has

Ive got Goodyear Eagle F1 DS-G2's on. From what i hear 888's dont last long on track use, i havent tried them personally so may or may not be true.

You can get alot of time out of the R888s if you have them at the right pressure. For road driving it is hard to get them up to temperature and keep them there.

In the 205 on the track aiming to get them to 30psi when hot. So on a cupra probably the usual 34psi when hot. Bill will be able to correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure

they are awesome tyres, id go for it as i know your running good power,

they run on a lotus exige standard, well they yoko, a048's and my mates had good milage out of his even with the odd track day and trip to the ring, although the only prob you might have is that they have a bigger profile so if your cars really low you might struggle compared to a normal 205/40

I'm getting some uniroyal rainsport2's. Good reviews and would like to try them out,

i run toyo proxie t1-r's think they as good as anything it that price range with out going silly

priced them r888's 2day 109+vat and they cant make them quick enough apparently got to wait about 3-4 weeks before they can get them in!!! altho i seen some on the bay for 375 for 4, also priced up the toyo t1r 65+vat so around the same as the parada's but my m8 had them on his car and they only lasted a month on a 1.5 yaris!! are there any other makes that do road legal tyres simmiler 2 the r888's?

Not cheaper than the 888s. Look on camskill. I can get 4 for the 205 for £270 delivered. They are 15" though.

i think the yokohama a048's are about the same price, pirelli also do a road legal slick, my mate has them on his cooper-s

The yokos are definatly more expensive. They do last longer though so I've heard.

Not heard of Pirelli's before will have to have a browse. I know Michelin do some as well, but they would most likely be very pricey.

bonus if you running 17's i know 888's come in 40 profile on that size rim for some reason :|

If you can afford them with the better weather coming i would go for them. I noticed it stuck to the road better over goodyears. But to be honest with the power im running and them rubbing at times i stuck with goodyears. I may get a set to run on track though as noticeably better.
