I have a pair of Toyo R888's on there way to me and also a pair of Pirelli Pzero's to go on my TD Pro Race wheels.

Is it OK to mix these together and if so were would you put the 888's?

These will mainly be used for track use (1st outing CC).

will be fine to mix,iirc des uses 2 r888's on the front and 2 sports tyres of a make i don't remember on the back

I'd put the 888s on the fronts given that the car asks so much of the front wheels

I've never done a track day, so bear with me if I'm being stupid/simplistic. The 888s will be super sticky and the others won't be as grippy. By putting the Toyos on the front won't this lead to some oversteer seeing as the front is gripping way more than the back? Once you're rolling, then the need to put the power down will be less of an issue. I would have thought that the high speed cornering stability comes into play on a track? I am basing this purely on watching years of Touring Cars etc and seeing the way the cars handle on some of the really fast sweeping corners, when they have warm front tyes and cold rears on the opening laps- which would be replicated by having super sticky fronts and less grippy tyres on the rear.

Maybe a racing car on a track is different to a road car on a track?

R888s on the front - should be fun!!

I'm coming from a Fabia vrs on track background and the FAbia's such an understeery beast that the only way to even the handling up is to have grippy front and slippy rear . Not so sure that the same applies to the Octavia but I do imagine that as standard it's designed to understeer before it oversteers. So having a grippier front will just balance that up...

My car is set up pretty neutral at the moment,and it did behave it's self last year @ CC.

I'm thinking of seeing what the weather is like and fit the Pirelli's to the rear,standard spiders to the front and taking the pair of 888's down with me (fitted to the other 2 TD Pro Race).

This way it gives me some options if the weather is crap.

Thinking it could be best to fit the 888's to the rear?
