But for the road course if high price and rapid treadwear are not a concern you can't do better than the Trofeo Rs. If you want more tire longevity than the MPSC2s fit the bill.

The R888s are far superior at the drag strip to the Trofeo R's or Pilot Sport Cup 2s because their sidewalls are not nearly as stiff. That allows the tire to have a larger contact patch. The Trofeo R's and MPSC2 are superior to the R888 at the track because their sidewalls are stiffer.
Congrats on the 10.1s and the 140 mph trap. Are you running meth?
