      Its great they come in a 16, not much in the way of tire choices for 16s these days. Too bad they don't make a 225/45/15 though.

        I just got the KDW-2's in 225/45/16 for my ACS wheels since the tread count is 300 but don't plan on using them for autocross. I'm thinking about getting the 205/50's on my 16x7 LM Reps for Autocross though.

            Finally - I have been on a waiting list at Tire Rack to make sure I got a set of 205/50/15's.
            Can't wait to try them.

                Huge fan of the originals, hope these are even better. Technically, these aren't Star Specs though. When the Z1 originally came out, it didn't have the Star Spec name either, that was a later update.

                I really wish they would make a 225/45-15 for autocrossing on 15x8" wheels.

                      Umm yes they do.



                      Duh sorry just saw the 225-45 and didn't notice the 15. I've got a cold so I haven't been feeling well. I had to jump off my trip today grr. I am SO happy they gave us back 225-45 in a 16 but would also be happy is they gave us a 225 or a 235 in a 15.

                        Damn it! When I was tires shopping a couple weeks ago I wish I was able to find these. I ended up getting a pair of 215/45/16 Kumho ecsta xs. I would of gotten the 225/45s of these if I knew about them.

                            Maybe the new version will balance worth a shit.
