Which tires for track?

Hi guys,


I would like to have your opinion and to know which tires you are using during your trackdays. I will have a set of OZ Ultraleggera in 18" and 8" large, ET40 exclusively for the track.

I have several ideas for the semislick rubbers ... But I cannot decide which one I will buy (in addition, I will have a 60€ reduction for a set of Michelin ...):
- Toyo R888 sizes avalaible: 225/40 and 245/40
- Toyo R888R size avalaible: 225/40
- Michelin PS Cup size avalaible: 225/40
- Michelin PS Cup 2 sizes avalaible: 235/40 and 245/40
- Yokohama AD08R sizes avalaible: 225/40 and 255/35
- Yokohama A048 size avalaible: 235/40

Note that I think I will run a square setup due to the sizes avalaible, my rims and the possibility of interverting the wheels. I will have (for the moment) 225hp and 470Nm of torque.

I would like to find the best bang for the bucks as possible! I'm a bit afraid the R888 will not last long... If you have any other solutions, ideas or if you could give me your opinion on a tire, I would be glad to hear it


Thanks in advance guys!


Edit: I cannot buy the Hankook RS3 as I live in France (no shop propose them anymore, I don't want to inport them from USA and in Germany, they are too expensive)
