Do you really have your heart set on the Yokos? They don't heat cycle
very well. Jason and I compared datalogger results, his
several-track-day-old Yoko on his Elise versus my Falken RT615 on my
Miata. The A048s had hardened to the point where they were no better
than the Falken street tires.
If you want "intermediate" DOT-Rs I'd recommend the Nitto NT01s, $50
cheaper a corner, grippier and longer lasting. DiscountTireDirect
carries them, $134 a corner shipped.
