I agree with Azeka1 on this one... I dont see a HUGE difference in grip between the current crop of 200tw tires compared to the R888R but they the 200tw tires do last A LOT longer. Therefore my drive to the track and back tire is one of these. So far I have run the RE71R, Direzza's and the BFG Rival.

If I wasn't worried about street use just go straight to a full slick tire (Hoosier, yokohama, etc). I have had great luck with the Continental slicks that they run in Grand-Am. From what I am told they are Hooiser R6's with a different side wall and slightly different compound. Careful though because once you go legit race tire and experience the grip its hard to go back...
