What do you use?

Do you have a seperate set for the road?

Do you use "normal tyres" on the rear, or have a set of 4?

Need something as close to 195/45/15 as possible (know R888's come in 50 profile, not sure if i will get away with these, might need to heighten the front)

Is there a decent all rounder?

Would be great if i could do every track day in the dry, but, UK, nevermind, so need something decent for both conditions.

I have A539's on my spare Casero's, and what i used on my old 1.2, but now i have xe power, im a bit dubious about using them.

Was thinking a decent all rounder for the road, and some decent dry tyres for the track?

like i say Yoko A048 according to a friend who uses them on his race pug they are fine in the wet, just uses a soft compound and raises the pressure slightly
