205 VR-1 Experiences?
We've heard all about the 245 VR-1, but has anyone run the 205?
I ran 205 star specs for half a season. And killed them wayyyyy too fast. Any idea if the VR-1s will last longer?

Do they seem wide to you? At a track event in the fall, another driver claimed to have mounted them on 15x8's and the tire looked perfectly square. Zero stretch. He didn't seem pleased with the grip, though I believe he may have been used to r-comps. Seems like they'd work well on an 8.5. Too bad nobody makes one with a decent offset.

They had plenty of grip over the regular BFG Rivals. Lap times improved by almost 4 seconds over the previous year with the BFG's, same car same setup only thing that changed was the tires. I'm sure weather, age of the tires and driver improvement played a factor. But I noticed that I could carry a lot more speed in a lot of the corners along with much stronger braking performance.
