Can anyone recommend tyres that work well on a standard fn2 type r for road use?

I am after sharp steering feel, so stiffer sidewalls, and good grip wet and dry - I don't care about the wear rate,noise etc as its my fun car and not used for long trips etc but i am in scotland so ideally they need to be good in the wet.

my kit car has 888s but i dont think I want to go that extreme for this vehicle.

I use Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 5’s on my EP3 and they work very well.

Advan AD08R if you want something fairly racy for the road, 'trackday' tyre really but believe the compound has changed recently a little, definitely worth looking in to. These work well in the wet too considering their dry performance.

As you said, A048/R888R/DZ03G maybe a little much for daily use.

I really liked S001 Potenza on my old FN2, stiff sidewall and excellent grip in the dry and decent in the wet.

Thanks all, I am going to order four S001 Potenzas as I like the sound of the great wet grip and stiff sidewalls, and they are rated top wet grip on Black Circles also which is good news, and around £90 each is a decent price.

Advan AD08Rs appear to be nearly £200 per tyre which is a bit much smile
