federal are doing a tyre now that is like a 888 iv forgetting the name i think its sumthing like a rsr but look it up they are hard to come by but cheep as chips and i know alot of lads that are using them,
The Falkens are a budget to mid-range tyre, but there not too bad for the price. I'm at work tomorrow morning so I could see what's available if you want.

shame they are a realy good tyre aswell iv always ran 888's but i was considering changeing to them now they arent easy to get hold ov. their are still places selling 888's but its gotta be a toyo franchies so they are still out their just they are as expensive as yoko's now. tell ya what i use for the road is toyo t1r's i ran the same 1/4 time on them as i did on 888's. iv have heard that toyo is bringin a new t1r out road pattern/tyre but the same compound as a 888smallest size they do is 15".
t1r's are not available in 13's and 888's are out of stock untill mid march.
They brought the r1r out a year or so ago which is supposed to have 95% of the grip of the 888's in the dry, but much better in the wet, but again these are only available in limited sizes. I think the new Mitsubishi Evos come out the factory with them
I'm in much need of finding a good alternative but still nothing i can find is any good. I need some weblinks fed to me on a plate.
From experiance of trying most options on track and feedback from others using they tend to go
starting best
slicks
048's
888's
all other options
I have used the R1R's on a vx and good half way between road tyre wet performance and 888 dry but not sure they are in 13 size? I always ran the 888's on the vx as they were a lot cheaper and laster a bit better than 048's but not anymore
I am building up 3 sets of wheel / tyre combo for the track beast and will
I will be running a full set of wets, full set of 048's and full set of slicks
In the future may go wider at the back for a 8inc and 6inc front but bigger fish to fry before worrying about that one!
