Some goodies came today:
Don't think I'll get round to fitting this week but definitely next week. So far my May trackday at Knockhill hasn't been cancelled so I'm having to prep the car for a go. If it's cancelled then at least the car is good to go.

Ds1.11s. Never tried them but they get good reviews.

Initially I did however apparently they come with 2/3rds of the tread depth as the others.
I wasn't aware of that.. I'm also on the hunt for some semi slicks.
Nankang advertise on their website that the AR-1's come with 5.5mm of tread depth, which is similar to most other semi slicks as far as I know?
Yeah, that's the major downside, best price I've found for an AR-1 is £155, whereas, like you say, the Cup 2's can be had for £115.
However, they do seem to get never ending praise (apart from being heavy), when compared to just about every other semi slick out there, so perhaps the extra cash is well spent.
Oh well, at least we have plenty of time to decide considering the next track days must still be months away!

Tyres are at last getting fitted on Friday. Went with the Cup 2s in 225/45/17 so will finally have the new wheels on the car (Only had them sitting in my spare room for 3 months) 
Washed the beast on Saturday:

Car looks great mate.
I really fancy trying cup 2's once my NS2R's are done!

With the Yoko having changed the compound it seems that the CUP2s are the only 'focused' non fully blown semi slick option out there. I got them on my other car and I'm happy - still think that the grip is not better than the good old AD08R though.

I kinda wanted the R888-Rs (I've only tried the old R888s and Yoko A048s before) but couldn't get them supplied and fitted where I wanted. I would have considered the AD08R if they hadn't watered them down so the Cup 2s were my 2nd choice.

in my search for a replacement, i came across the bridgestone potenza RE-71R. can't seem to buy them over here, but maybe you can in the UK?

not sure... Federal 595RSR are from what I’ve heard are a good road / non blown semi slick.
A lot of people have issues with the cup2 sidewalls
