Its for the 8 obviously

Thanks

Tough one. I can't answer from my personal current experience, as I run Uniroyal Rainsport 3's for road and wet track, plus Federal 595SRS semi-slicks for road and dry track. The Rainsports are useless for dry trackdays as they overheat very quickly, but awesome in the wet and great on the road!

Worn 595's (start at 5.5mm: below 3mm+wet=    ) are not recommended for wet track use!!

There is huge debate on the Rx-8 OC on road tyres and current favourites seem to be:

Avon ZZ5 (probably a slight favourite of the bunch, based on forum feedback)
Pirelli P Zero
Bridgestone Potenza S001
Vredestain Vorti

I've had 4 sets of Vredestein Ultra Sessantas before they were discontinued a few years ago. They were fantastic all rounders, road, dry/wet track. I've no experience of the Vortis that replaced them, but a few guys have commented very favourably on them.

Thanks guys I’ll give the uniroyals a go

There really good price...epic in wet and just as good as any road performance tyre imo.
Yep track theyll be destroyed but again any road tyre will be...but your new to track so they should be fine as your learning.
If you get into trackdays then id suggest another set of wheels with track compound.

A driving god Lmao

I should imagine hooning about on my local roads is one thing.

We will see how good they are at holding in the gravel from the kitty litter on the first right hander after the start/finish ? Haha

What Casey and Wayne are saying is correct on dry track day they will be destroyed and youll have no grip as they overheat...but the 1 taster session at Jdm..they will do the job....if you thinking of booking a whole day then they are wrong choice and the 1s they mention would be choice as both experienced 8 trackers.
