Cheapest Place For R888's?

[MadUsa1]

Looking to replace the R888's on the front of my Clio 200, anyone tell me the cheapest place to get some?

Camskill and Black circles don't seem to stock the right size, K tec have them but they're very expensive at £188 each.

Anyone know anywhere cheaper??

Somewhere between a normal road tyre and a r888 style trackday tyre.

Lost of interesting info on the Yoko website but essentially they have 8mm of tread and the compound doesn't wear as fast as a trackday tyre because they don't lose rubber as easily.
But they do get very sticky if you warm them up properly and they don't try to kill you so much when you hit standing water.

A compromise essentially but a pretty good one

I think they've gone up a bit I paid about £105 each delivered from tyre traders. 225/45 not 215 though.
