      Hmmmm, interesting. I still may try to wait for the RS3, just depends on how fast my current wheels sell.

      Can't justify/afford two sets of wheels.

        hankook usually have good sizing, so i wouldnt be suprised if they have the 225 size. however, i have no idea if it will be a good tire.

        why not stick with the re-11?
        I had a local shop just tell me $155 mounted and balanced. Doesn't seem TOO bad.

          How about the Nitto NT-01? same thing as the RA1.. different tread pattern. comes in a 225/45-15, and is fairly cheap for an r-comp. They would be fine on the street, except for maybe in downpour.

          I know they are meant more for track use not autox, but the RA1 had a reputation for lasting forever and it has to be at least as good as a typical cheap kumho or the outdated RS-2 (will probably outlast the RS-2 by a longshot).

            Did you see this?

            Essentially $225 shipped to you for 4 DZ101 if you get the amazon card, or $250 if you just get the rebate....

              ^Those aren't in the same class of tires we are talking about.

              I've decided to stick with a street tire for now, especially with the Toyo R1R available in 225/45/15, the RS3 is supposed to be soon, so we will just see what is actually available once I buy the wheels. And that will most likely be the determining factor.

                  I watch what the Miata guys are doing for tires and wheels. Goodwin sells the R1R's, among many others.


                  The NT-01's are also supposed to be pretty good, Discount direct sells those.

                      probably gonna run these when i burn through my RE-11s and relegate my TRM wheels for track only duty.

                        225/45/15, but he called me back a few minutes later and told me that was his cost, my cost would be $172 mounted/balanced.

                        Another place in town said $163 mounted/balanced for the same size.

                        Haven't been able to talk to good win about an unmounted shipped price yet.

                          I run hoosiers in that size. Both r3so4's and A3so4's (I think those are the models) I run them on a 15x8 et 13 and 15x8 et+4. I ran them with my cup kit and my IE3's with no issues. I also run in DSP. Hope that helps. I will try and get some poics tonight when I get home.
