go for medium.
888's are the cheapest - NOT the best.

How can you tell what compound they are? We got ours cheap through trade, dont even think they asked what compound we wanted.

RB5s would have to be 185/50s iirc.
There are Indy Sport TRs which are the same type of thing and do come in 195/50s @ £68 a corner 
Clicky
Those are the TR4s which are soft/medium compound, TR5s are medium/hard. Try em out then let us know if they're any good

ive been offered a set of four 888's for £40
only got 1mm on them though. Would this be enough to get a day out of them and get a feel for what they are like?
