Have you through about trying the R888R? Its a new tyre for 2016.

gb-lude - Are you competing in the car? If so I'd check their approved tyre list before making a purchase.

Only time attack for now so its fine.
I will check the 888 I have.

I can get some Falken AZENIS RT-615 SEMI SLICK tires. They are only 120£ each in 255/40/17
The reviews are good..
Also am interested in the 888R

The whole 5 lug conversion with stoptech BBK and new wheels and tires are really gonna cost me..
Need to win the lottery ....

How good are those uniroyal btw?
Mate of mine has 4 on his ek4 and he works in a tyre place, but he's got stretch and all that bum droppings so hardly reliable source for grip questions

They are fine in the dry. I have had them on in the dry on track a few times and have them as my road tyres on the 5th gen.
