Parada spec 2s are good had then on my S2 escort turbo
Pilot sport cups,run them on my Focus RS they're great in dry and wet good for road and track,are pricey though
For track Yoko A048s are better than R888s but dont last as long

Those cheaper F1's will be the shit ones.
The wont be made in germany like the dearer ones and the the speed rating and load rating is less so makes me think the compund will be diff too.
Check this as I was almost caught out.

The Prada Spec2 seem to be selling well we've had no complaints yet.

There was a recent tyre test in Auto Express, very intersting it was, just for the record F1's came 6th overall, Pirelli came first overall, which was shock to me, but my fave tyre was there at no1 in the wet deep standing water tests!!

Michelin Pilot sports 2's if you really need a road tyre....
personally I'd just run R888's! awesome tyres and you CAN live with them day to day in my experience.

I personally wouldn't use the Paradas, not because there is anything wrong with them, but because they are handed AND directional, so they cannot be swapped from side to side. In my opinion, this is an essential attribute of a tyre to get the best life out of them on a Cosworth, as they seem to wear inside edges so aggressively on the rear with a standard beam, so you want to be able to swap them from side to side to ensure that you are replacing the tyre only when it is completely worn, rather than because the inside edge is completely fucked and has got like that, because you can't move the tyres from side to side.
