The contis will obviously last longer. My only concern with the r888r is the noise that many speak of. I duno what there like hearing them inside the car especially with just only having a set in the rear but if they are darn impressive in straight line traction as well as handling then I'll put up with it.

If the conti ecs tires are not that far off in handling and straight line performance like the Toyos then maybe the continnentals will do. Any experiences with both tires or simply either one and how's the handling and straight line performance?

As others said, these are two completely different tires.

I would probably get a second set of wheels for the track and wrap them with the Toyos, because if you try to daily drive them, you'll go crazy from the monster truck whine at >40 mph. They do grip much better than the Continental ECS and on a road course you probably won't hear them over the engine, but as a daily driver, nah, been there, tried that, ended up selling them
