Does anyone have leads for me? Looking for 205/50R15, 225/45R15, or basically anything grippy that fits on a 15x8 wheel. Think Miata. A6 or A7 would be great. Also open to SM7 and 200TW options. These will be on a Challenge car, and at least two will be on the budget.

I know USDRRT usually has SM7 take-offs in stock.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson :

I've bought tires from Berget.  The website and contact form on it are useless because he absolutely prefers to talk over the phone.  Go to that link, find the number, and call him directly.  If you contact him any other way, you'll just get a reasonably prompt response with his phone number and asking you to call him.  But when you talk to him, he knows what he's got and he'll give you options.

A couple springs ago I got a set of A7 Runoffs qualifiers from the previous fall, in 225/45/15.  Pretty good rubber left on them, but not sticker-tire-sticky.  They were about $70-$75 each + about $10/tire shipping.

Got my 2017 tires from usdrrt on ebay.  245/580/15 Hoosier s80 road race tires were good enough for 7th place autocross time with a broken suspension part (didn’t know till later)

i replaced them with sm7’s from Stampie.
