Ben 888's really really really are a trackday tyre, they wont even be that good for drag as you need to get them hot and sticky before they work fully. No way in a million years i'd have them as a road tyre. Paradas are FAR better for the road, I've run them for roundabout the last year on the rsi. I've also driven a fair few mk1's on track with them and they cope with more than they're given credit for. Not all about maximum grip, but the car behaves well and unless you're very experienced with track driving, you dont really need better
