Not all of these are available in Canada, but most are. Some are Tire Rack exclusives I believe.

Fantastic resource for tire review. Thanks Ed.

fantastic resource, can we make this a sticky for future reference?

I have Toyo R888R's on my car now (275/35/18 all around) and never found them to be that great on the track, seems the reviews match my experience

R888 is good for the SEMA display cars …

Yeah, the R888R's design is based on the super dated Toyo RR design. Tire technology has improved quite a bit since.

Thanks for posting the guide Ed. I used it last year when I was shopping for tires and got the Goodyear Supercar 3R tires (ZL1 1LE version) and they were the best tire I ever tried on the track. That said, it was unusable in the rain and expensive to run (lasted 4 track days before I corded them, even with rotating them).
