personally, i'd avoid the toyo's, but for a purely track based car, like yours, they'll be spot on

the A048R's are awesome, and seem good value too, theres a bloke who comes to my work who uses them on his alfa 75 track car, and he reccomended them to me

Colways will only be rated to 110mph, and they wont be any good in a bit of light drizzle

The Toyo's are supposedly the best road legal semis... I take it they are for the Corsa?

yeah.... ideally want something that'll handle a bit of rain, or i'd just get slicks. prefer something where tread goes tothe edge then....

i just got 4 toyo r888 delivered for my nova for knockhill, planning on going next sunday. £268 delivered which was good I thought. There 195/50/15 going onto 6x15 comp mo's. Current tyres are 195/50/15 on the wheels but the toyos are wider so have to wait and see how they fit.

i'm looking for really agressive ones.... though.... thinking about it.... some decent ones that dont need to be 1million degrees to be up to temp might help if i sprint/hill climb the car

Had thought about ds3000's
