    Default Best road track tyre!

    Right!
    Ive spent the last few years building a road going 180SX circa 450 - 500hp with lots of track grip driving
    and daily-ish road use in mind.
    Ive had a fair few high powered cars 4WD and RWD over the years with lots of different tyres but am wondering whats peoples thoughts??????
    RWD and grip have never been something i was too bothered about as i was usually just gonna kill the back tyres and therefore more worried about price on the back and maybe a set of yokohama pradas on the front end grip (grand tyre although ive heard plenty of complaints).
    I really liked the Falken FK452 on an R34 GTR but the 4WD system on that car was immense to begin with
    so i dont feel its a good comparison when talking about a RWD with no traction control.

    Basically im looking for peoples opinions on a tyre for a high powered RWD car driving on irish roads in irish weather
    with occasional track use. i dont really want to go the Toyo R888 semi slick route as i feel its gonna be too harsh to live with outside the track environment but im open to suggestion!

    Possible options;
    Toyo TR1
    Eagle F1
    Pirelli PZero
    Yokohama Prada
    Michelin Pilot Sport
    Continental conti5
    Hankook Ventus

    ^^^ anybody with much experience of the above??
