[Tigers] Tiger tires

15's are probably the easiest size tire to find, as far as 140-200TW high performance rubber goes.?195 to 225 section widths are very well supported, because they are common to lots of cars that are used for autocross and track use...everything from NA/NB Miatas to Honda CRX/Civic. When you get to 17's, the selection of tires that will fit up front becomes limited, because of section width (I'm also no fan of the 17" look, but to each their own). 
?
Have you run the staggered R888 set up in an autocross with competition you can benchmark off? Or, better yet, were you able to do back to back testing??I'd bet real money that your square RA1 set up is faster, even though the R888 compound has slightly better grip (at the expense of accelerated wear in comparison to the RA1). Also, the R888 wants more?negative camber than the RA1. So, if you haven't (and have any room left for adjustment), I'd dial in more static camber, particularly with the smaller front section width. :)?

  I have used ra1,s ..205/60r13, worked great..now using re888 because they have a 185/60 for the front and 205/60 for the rear, I feel the looks better with this combo because the front stays flush with the fender. Both have performed well, have won street prepared auto cross with teae United events. I often get positive comments on how the car sits, that is due to good springs and.proper size tires.? It's just me but I don't feel that these cars look right with larger wheels..I might note also that 14 and 15 inch tires are almost as hard to find, especially if you want a good speed rating..if you are building a resto mod than 17s are available with a good selection.
