I had R888 on .1 GT3 mainly street use, could not stand the noise. No experience with the Pirelli.

Haven't read many great reviews on Toyos, most prefer Nitto NT01. Pirelli are expensive as Sport Cup 2. Dunlop RE71 seem to getting pretty popular as well. Those would be the three I would choose from

I've used both.
R888 is really old design and compound. Slow, noisy, and lack lateral grip when right at apex. Ok under brakes. Cheap though. There is a new model r888r coming out soon.....
Trofeo R....latest tech and fast, way way faster on track than r888. Quieter, but does heat cycle out for me before the treads gone. Get 20-25 heat cycles. When it goes...it seems to really go....had a couple of spins, which is really unusual to me, before I worked out the rubber had gone off. Expensive. Way better than r888
