if so you could also look at the R888 from Toyo and the NT-01 from NITTO (same basic tire as the R888). Both are excellent and offer outstanding grip, cornering stability, and tread life (for a track tire). One benefit is that they don't ride half poorly for what they are intended to do.
I personally had bad luck with the corsa as they totally failed and fell apart in once session.

So While 305 would be great fun, I think there could be issues.
But the sport cup is a great tire for sure. But after testing the NT-01 I think it has a serious competitor for a lower price.

R-comp tires run far wider than a normal street tire so a 305 Sport Cup will likely have serious rubbing issues. In measurements, a NT-01 in 275/35/18 is as large as a 285/35/18 street tire and even larger than some.

I never personally tired the NT-01 but heard great things about them. Even some very good things about the Nitto Invo (not a R compound of course, just a regular street tire).

It is for my sl65 running stock wheels. I wanted the cups but the fronts only come in 235/35/19. I am just looking for a sticky tire that can help the car hook up. I do want a tire I can drive on though. I also need a tire that can handle high speeds on the highway. The car gets driven once every 7-10 days. Any ideas on a good sticky tire? Would like to stay with factory size on the front and maybe a bit wider in the rear.
