Track Day Tyres
I've found some TOYO semi slicks on 185 x 60 x 13 at £60 a corner, very similar tread pattern to Mart's Yoko's. Any experience of them good or bad?

If they are the R888 then I've heard good things about them.

Re: Track Day Tyres
I have toyo r888 (185/60/13) and yokohama a021r(185/70/13) for the dolly, both are really nice, the yokes a bit better in the cold and damp and the toyos a bit better on a hot sunny summer day. I have a set of ex formula something slicks for it too but not used those yet as I'm taking far to long to build a new engine.
I was impressed enough with the toyo r888s to buy a set for my tvr for track days too.

Re: Track Day Tyres
I'm running Toyo RA1 Proxies on my Sprint for competition events, track days, etc. Fantastic, particularly in damp or wet conditions, but also very grippy in the dry . I would have no hesitation in recommending them. You'll also get a reasonable amount of usage from them as they're not super soft, but more a good all-rounder.
