My R 888's lasted longer than I would expect - about twice as long as the Michelin Cups in 18 inches. By the way, several guys locally are running 18 inch wheels with PCCB with no issues.
The Toyos were hell when new. Squirm like I could not believe! For track buy them shaved and save yourself some pain. They warm up in a lap and don't seem to get hard with heat cycles like the Cups. A pretty good deal but they do not stick like the Hoosier.

on a 2.6km circuit (1min 14 seconds), i ran them back to back - Hoosier was 1 second quicker on a 7GT3.
they feel better than that.

Hoosier R6 sizes:
245/35/18
315/30/18
The new R6s seem to outlast any previous iteration of Hoosier. My most recent set served well for 6 hard track days and at least one good overheat. They started falling off after about 20 minutes of hard running toward the end, but there is rubber left.
