I had been running the dunlops front and rear then replaced the rears with the 888's as I am still learning on the track and not so focused on lap times for the moment.

Suspected cause
There are probably a lot more options for your wheel size, Pirelli and Michelin are not an option for me but am sure they would be a great tyre.

R888's in GG compound were $986 for 235/40R18 and 295/30R18 - check tirerack.com for prices on other sizes - freight was $408 to Darwin.

I've run 888s & MPSC on the 996 this year, both were good but I'd not really have any qualms saying that the MPSCs felt like better tyres.

bummer about tirerack.com not exporting the toyo's any more - they were only about $1000 for a full set (plus freight) - i was quoted $2500 for the dunlops in australia.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am looking for some good value track day tyres. Don't have to be cheap, just good value.
I have raced on Yokohama ao48's in my Improved Production Subaru, and haven't tried anything else for a few years.
My short list comprises Dunlop dz03 and toyo r888, and I can get Michelin from tirerack in the US. Pirelli is unavailable at the moment.
Any recommendations?
Yes same car and setup. I had been running the dunlops front and rear then replaced the rears with the 888's as I am still learning on the track and not so focused on lap times for the moment. My lap times however have been getting better by I put this down to practice rather than tyres, no real noticeable difference to me for the level I am at.
My new rears were $300 each as opposed to dunlops at $430 (approx.), can't complain at this stage.
thanks hugh - much appreciated.

I have also neglected to realise that your driving a GT3 from memory? There are probably a lot more options for your wheel size, Pirelli and Michelin are not an option for me but am sure they would be a great tyre.
thanks oz951,
do you have any time comparisons? Ive never raced on Michelin and dont know anyone who has.
I've used Dunlop DZ02, Toyo R888's and Bridgeston Re55's about 5 or 6 years ago, but only Yokohama since then.
On a slightly related topic, do you think its llikely that i can source a set of secondhand track wheels for my GT3 in Sydney or Melbourne?
Cheers
These are widely available and I am sure you could approach several specialists who maintain cup cars and extract a set of BBS wheels from them. However mostly cup cars a centrelocks. Depends what your budget is?
3.5 to 4k would buy you a set of decent secondhand rims to use on track.
i dont know that my suspension will work well with slicks - its just standard at the moment and im keen to keep it that way for a while at least.
i know where i can get a set of adjustable bilstein coilovers though....
Haunted Hills Hillclimb today - VIC state round. Previous best 59.2 - today beat marque sports cars 3Lt record (58.28) now 57.74.
Found the harder compound Proxy 888s even though 295s, not as grippy as Advan A050 softs in 255s.
Cheers,Mark.
R888's in GG compound were $986 for 235/40R18 and 295/30R18 - check tirerack.com for prices on other sizes - freight was $408 to Darwin. Ordered them on Friday night, arrived at my office on Tuesday morning with Aust Day long weekend in between.
Congrats on your hillclimb result.
i havent used AO50's - i am still sulking from having to use AO48's as our control tyre in IPRA. I spent a fortune on those dang things over the years...
Why not try the Hankook Z221? In my totally subjective observations I 'felt' that the Nitto NT01s are better than the 888's even though some say they're the same tyre with a different tread pattern.
