Goodyear eagle F1's for road tyres.. Track tyres and can be used on road would be R888's but i know lowered about 30mm they scrubbed as 50 profile only.

Parads are the best thing ive used. I think theyre actually better than the goodyears, theyre cheaper and last longer.

Uniroyal Rainsport 2's

Road tyres but they seem to cope quite well on track too

Eagle F1's I have them on the rear and Yoko S-drive on the front. They are quite good and only cost £130 fitted.

Yoki only make the S drive in this size.... I should know as I work for them

I'd go with 205/45R16 Paradas instead, rolling radius is pretty much the same!

Blackcircles will do them for about £81.50ea mail order.... might be worth trying tyreandgo.co.uk also. I'm actually running C drives at the moment, purely to get longer mileage but some people do get decent mileage out of the Parada also!
