The tire selection is even worse if you are still on 16" wheels. If I could find a 15x10 circle track wheel that would clear my brakes, I'd have tons of tires to choose from. I sure miss the HTR Z Sumitomos..

Those Sumitomo tires were the best deal going. I ran those at bunch of autocross events and Nashville Superspeedway and they were sticky (sticky enough) and they wore like iron, even at 160 treadwear. The only negative is they are a little greasy when they get hot.
