I’m still running the S04’s from before I went turbo. Seriously modding the car was not the plan when I bought them. The turbo direction was a spur of the moment rabbit hole I fell into after an enormous Christmas bonus one year that I didn’t have anything better to do with.

Now I’m just trying to shreds thru them so I can get something with more grip. I’ve been thinking R888’s too but not certain I want to run a R compound on the street.

R888's are the only ones that will stick when warm. If you get them from Tirerack, make sure you pay the extra 15 dollars per tire to have them heat cycled. I may try them and see how they do. Not sure. They will take as low as 15 deg F. outdoors before you have any cracking issues. Better than the other R compound tires.

888’s won’t last on the street.
007’s will probably be your best bet; beings you drive on summer tires year round.
Run flat Michelin A/S’s would be really your best dd tires,,,if you plan on really dd’ing it...also the extra weight of the run flat,may help with the multiplied “Horsepower”
