        Just looking at onlinetires.com and they have toyo r888 205/50/15s for under $350 OTD. Grab those and a set of TRMs and your ready to put down some sick times. Makes me sad that I just bought some direzzas.

            ^^What's your application? Word on the SCCA forums is that they do not make a great AutoX tire as they need more heat, but rather a better HPDE/track day tire. They need a lot of heat, and generally AutoX won't provide that. However, like I stated before, this weekend was quite brutal on the tires due to near unlimited running...

            Hoosier A6s on the other hand have been unbeatable, but they won't last long in the slightest and they are $$$$. They have a terribly stiff sidewall so you can bring those tire pressures down for even more grip.

              Just bought a set of 15x8 TRMs, still undecided on a tire though.

                    I think the site may have made a temporary mistake.
                    Last night when I checked they had the 205s listed on sale for $79.xx, now it looks like they may have corrected an error as they are listed on sale at $139.91.
                    At least that is what is showing up on my comp.

                            Sucks they raised their prices. But been found a killer st for $340. I'd jump all over those in a heartbeat. Or if your looking for something with a longer lifespan maybe some hankook RS-3 in a 225/45/15.

                              Thanks Ben. You guys think running a 205 on a 8" wide wheel is ok, not too much strech?

                                a 205/50 on a 8" should be fine.

                                205/50/16 on a 16x7.5 for reference
