Can anyone recommend me some road legal tyres suitable for a FWD barely road legal car built pretty much purely for RWYB days? Its been a long time (2-3 years?) since Ive needed to buy "aftermarket" type tyres lol

IIRC these are the ones that are borderline legal but advised NOT to use in the wet?

Hmmmm, im just looking through the Demon Tweeks motorsport book aswell, the 888's are in there an them, as with the 048's tread pattern is minimilistic which is bonus for tarmac.

Will have to do some google research of various things an get some opinions together i thinks.

a mate had the 888s on his 230bhp renault 5 they made a MASSIVE difrence compared to the toyos that were on it previously.
il have some 888s for my let project when its eventually finished, but they only do 195/50/15s dont do them in 195/45/15s
