Michelin PSC2 suck on ZL1 but new PSC2 R may be good, haven't seen any ZL1 test results yet... looks like they're ~$3,400/set shipped in ZL1 sizes which is a deal-breaker for me :-)
Toyo should update the R888R design to provide the kind of cornering grip that made the Toyo RA1, the great tire the R888/R888R replaced, so well liked. If they did, the combination of performance and tread life would make it a perfect street/circuit track combo tire. As is it's only a great street/strip tire.

First I heard the toyos were bad on turns but I guess compared to other better tires.
