Yoko A048 were also on my list but same problems with sizing.

have you considered the lesser end of the track tyres? like the AD08 neova etc, thats what im going for on the mr2 as its going to get road miles.. much more mileage out the set and better for road use. far cheaper too..

anyhow, the 215 is a better fit imo, less likely to rub, and the benifit of a bit more tyre on the road.

Cheers will have a look, dosent look like the neova do a 215 but that said Ive had the same tyres on the car now for about 5 years with little wear so dont mind sticking the 888's on :lol:

Its the fronts which are the problem, would say its more the drop on the suspension than anything as I wasnt expecting the car to sit as low as it does, will need to check the Eibach springs are correct.

Ill get some pics up when I sort out how to fix the blown electrics in my Garage - Rich no comment :lol:
