But OP, Toyo R888's are great for cornering and hook up well in a straight line too! Guys over on SVTP love them on their cobras!

I was looking into the R888s as well until I saw the price. 320 per tire is WAY too much for me. I don't have an SVTP pocketbook.

As for the complaints for 555Rs, I've heard countless times that you have to heat the $hit out of them to get them to hook. Aside from that it's not a terrible tire.

So it seems to be between the nt01 and nt05 now. Wasn't ox raving about the nt01s on his beast 2V?

EDIT: I can't get the KDWs in the size I want so those are out. I'll put them up front.
