I doubt between the New Trofeo (Pirelli) or Toyo R888 for track use.

Which one do your recommend?

Am in the same camp, having used 888s but not Trofeos. Let's say one set of 888s is already one too many for me.

Ahh. That is a better tire for sure if you're trailering.

For those of us that drive to and from the track, is there anything better than the R888's right now?
