best tyres for track racing

Iv been looking at semi slicks to put on my vts alloys but there about £500 for set of 4 that's toyo r888 and yokohama a048. There alittle expensive at the moment I'm saving up for them lol unless anyone knows a place cheaper. So what sort of good grippy tyres are there that are around £200. A set of tyres I'm thinking of are yokohama parada spec 2 there £160 a set they was good when used before but does anyone know of better make tyre and link me some websites cheers

You'd get away with 205's on VTS alloys??

Done

There do me lol do u think there fit on saxo

Yeah the will fit

Ive no experience with them so only going from word of mouth, but i was told the Parada's were better suited to slightly heavier cars (Civics etc) for out right grip. Though they'd last quite a while based on that.

May be worth asking how much tread is actually left in them, there is usually indentations scattered around the face to give a reading.

Yes I was looking at those paradas they look good and there around £175 for set of 4 that's better than 4 a048 at around 580 a set lol also they last longer than semi slicks , I know not as much grip but does it as only for trackdays
Iv seen some federal 595 rs-r semi slicks there around £350 a set of 4 and last alittle longer than the other two semi slicks so may give them ago

R1R's.

They look good aswell may go for them cheers

I used Parada's on my LCR, they're great in the dry, not so much the wet. They take a fair bit to get them up to temperature but once they're there your confidence in attacking the corners increases. They're about £200 for 2 for mine (225/40/18) but last a few track days. The set currently has been to the 'Ring, done a good few laps, Rockingham last weekend and they've still got 5mm treat on them (they start with about 7 or 8mm)

I have 3 sets of alloys one set got standard tyres that's more for the wet then other set that set I'm gonna have paradas as good for price then last set will have no tyres until I save money for semi slicks lol

You thought about the cheap motorsport altrenatives like Maxsport? Can pick up a set of cut slicks dirt cheap.
