OK, Ive made the jump back down to 15" wheels... Freakyparts are sorting out my Brembo`s for me so they will fit under them but which tyres do I go for?

The standard FTO rims are 205/50/16. I was running 215/45/17`s

Im leaning towards the 225/50/15 Toyo R888`s to save myself some money, but Ive never tried any trackday tyres, so what are they all like? Anyone know of any good reviews?

These will be for road & track use, which will include handling circuit and top speed run at TOTB V.

I've heard cracking reviews for the Toyo T1-R's, nothing I can direct you to though, all word of mouth. Can't speak for the others.

Thanks, I dont think any of those are really trackday tyres.

On the MLR toyo and dunlop seem to be rated highly for track day tyres. They all go potty for Yoko A048's though.
