Semi Slick tires for 18s oem

Hi Guys

Just bought some F15s for road use, so my oem 18s will hopefully be wearing some semi slicks very soon for the track..

Can anyone give me some recommendations? I was looking at the advan A050 but the rears are 255/40/18 which I think will stuff up the speedo.. not too sure about performance.

My other option is the A048 where the fronts are fine, but the rears will have to become 265/35/18

Any thoughts?

This is the only DOT R compound (semi-slick) that I know of in a 265. Toyo R888's are available but be sure to have them shaved to 4/32

i run the advan a048 as my every day tyre 265/35/18s on back no problems except they last 3000kms max or one good track day but make the car so much more fun to drive ,the still work in moderate wet weather as long as you have some heat in them.
