Looking into these but am lacking in knowledge on sizes and fitments TBH.

Initially looking at Toyo R888 mediums, now these don't come in 225-40-18 but do come in 235-40-18's.
Yokohama Paradas come in 225-40-8 but the AVS sport come in 235-40-18
Has anyone fitted these to their OEM LCR alloys?
Hs anyone fitted 235-40-18's to there OEM LCR alloys?
What tyres pressures are recommended for the R888's/Paradas as I believe this differs from the standard road tyres but don't know why or how it differs.
Anyone tried any other tyres on the track and can suggest a better one?
The tyres need to be road legal as they will stay on the car between track sessions aswell

thanks for any help

tyre pressures I ran on R888s were 32psi hot.. but you will need to experiment to see what works best with your car/geometry

R888's work well.. used them to good effect
also used Kumho Esta V700's also previous available in 3 compounds.

Yokohama A048's also used before... but R888 were better value tyres

BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW NT II 235/40 18 on OEM LCR rims. Cannot stress enough how good they are! On and off track, both wet and dry.

TBH the GYE F1 asymmetric are very good on the track but just thought might try the R888's. But TBH at £163 per corner there a bit too steep.
Think I'll try 235-40-18 GYE to see how these fair for a start.
Will probably do more miles on the road then the track so best off with good road tyres for a start to see how I get on
