Don't forget that same 225/50-14 is the optimal size for second gen MR2s,
also. Have you noticed MR2s slipping a bit in AS? Might not be all tire,
AS has had some smokin' cars introduced in recent years, but tire is perhaps
the number one factor in competitiveness of a stock car. I'm not making a
case here, just laying out a morsel of food for thought.
