Those caught my attention.
Tire Rack has 205/60/13's... the RA1's are their cheapest DOT R-compound offering at $132/piece. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?customSizeSearch=&width=205%2F&ratio=60&diameter=13
I've also got a set of 14" 4x100's laying around.
The Hoosiers on my car now are hard/old. I will probably run another event on them because I'm only doing amateur trackday auto-x stuff, but I'll likely need to buy some kind of tire this year.
Ideally I'll find a set of cheap take-off track tires from a more serious person and I'll take what I can get to get... but if I have to buy I'm debating between buying 195/60-14's, or just sticking with my 13's with the 205/60-13 size. Reasonable options in each size. Small motor / light car. (mk1 VW)
