Any news on new 200TW tires for 2018?

Yoooooo Direzza Star Spec ZIII's are out. Check it out: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=Direzza+ZIII&partnum=05VR5Z3&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

They look decent BUT THEY ARENT FACKING MAKING THEM IN 225/45/15. I'm about to protest the tire makers. BLM and gun protests be damned, I just want more options in the 225/45/15. #Lappingsessionsmatter

I need something good in 255/50  either 15" or 16"

Well that's just dang irritating. 

They now have RS4s in 195s; when I needed tires for the Miata, they only had 205s.

Yes, I know, 205s fit on a 15x7, but with an ET10 wheel I was sure I'd rub on a lowered car (I massaged the fenders when I got the car, as they rubbed then).

I wanted something grippy but with a little life, and it seemed they might full the bill. 

Oh well.

Not for NA's #ripfenders

No but in the 245/45/15 there's even less tire options haha. I just think tire companies are shooting themselves in the foot my not offering 225/45/15 or 245/40/15. Maybe 5 years ago 195 and 205 was normal, but now everyone is running 225+ on Miaters.

Woo hoo!  Ordered! Now the three week wait until they arrive at the DE warehouse...

And...  a Tire Rack rep called and they're already back-ordered...   ...and since I've been away from autocross for over 5 years, I just went with ZII's.  The difference is not likely to make any difference for me.
