Tire woes

I need a new set of tires after wearing through my R888's. Can't seem to find R888's or NT01's anywhere.

Any recommendations? I use my car on the track and street about 3k a year. right over 600whp/ tq

Thanks.

I just installed RE-71R (stock power). They're 200 treadwear, not 100, so don't think they'll be as sticky as R888, but may be a good no-other-options alternate for you. Definitely stickier than 300 treadwear rated Pilot Super Sports.

PILOT SPORT CUP 2 are rated at 180

Pilot Super Sport Cup2? Or Pilot Super Sport 4?

I love them both, the PSS4 is incredible in rain and it gives up a bit in the dry to the Cup2.
