About 10mm wider than Z1s... but who knows. It varies depending on size, what size wheel they are mounted to, etc.

Interesting. Thank you!

Seems i need to run through a gearing calculator and see if i think i have time to chuck my other trans together.

I thought this thread was going to be Russian cars; carry on.

Dang it! It's through Tire Rack. I've never had them get an order correct in my life. I've always ended up with weeks of back and forth before I've bought locally.

They've never messed up my orders, but their prices seem to no longer be real competitive for me unless they have good rebates going on or their clearing out old stock. Local guys are ALWAYS cheaper for me.

Unfortunately, oftentimes the local guys can't/won't get tires like this.

I had a set of those in 225/50-14 that I squeezed onto the stock wheels from my Impreza. (I know, I know... ) They were given to me by an awesome guy who raced a VW. They were pretty much bald but still had more grip than my all seasons that I had mounted on a set of first gen Camry wheels. I ran the last event of the season on the RA-1's then life got in the way of racing for a while.

One day, a few months later, I had a blow out on my street tires. I limped home on the spare then, having about $1.37 to my name and driving an AWD car, I knew driving on a doughnut long term was out of the question as was a decent replacement tire of the proper diameter. I wound up driving around on nearly corded and completely heat-cycled out R-comps for quite a while. The instantaneous transition from grip to no grip caused hilarity to ensue on several occasions!
