yes, i know this may not be the best place but opinions are still wanted

Looking for some real world experience on the most grippy MSA 1B tyres.

17x9" wheels, so something around 255/40/17.

600bhp, 4WD and 1400kg

I've used Yoko 048R in the past, but not on a 1400kg car.
We've run Toyo 888s for a couple of years and get on well with them but i'm sure there is better out there.

Any comments or suggestions? We dont really need them to last well for 10-20 flat out laps, but being able to get 2-3 before they go 'off' / overheat is a must. So a medium compound is prob best suited.

yup, research shows DZ03G best, then 048R then R888. Thats ignoring a lot of others though

888 for wet perhaps.
