SOOOOOOOO To bring this back up.
Yesterday at the SCCA Convention a new class was announced for National Level Solo.
"Extreme Street"......think cars like mine but on 200tw "street tires"
There appears to be a great deal of excitement about the class and a formal press release is coming later in the week.
Do you all think we can leverage this new classification to gain the traction needed to get this conversation started again......hopefully with Yokohama.....

The Milwaukee SCCA chapter has been doing "extreme street" classing at a local level for quite a few years with good success. We called it "Tire Limited" here. It's pretty nice to see it carry over to the national arena. Hopefully this move is enough to get a 275 street tire on the market as I would love to sign up for that.

After speaking with the people at Nankang, there is an upcoming 200tw tire from them, and considering the ar-1 is coming in the 275/35-15 size, i have already begun to work on them to produce that 275 in the upcoming 200tw tire - the CR-1.
i'm running gltc, and the ability to keep weight low/power high is the primary reason I'm trying to stay on street tires.
if anyone wants to contact them to show support, i think it would help.

They wouldn't buy them. Pirelli still makes those tires just for the Countach/Pantera crowd. Not like they drive those cars much anyway so they're just replacing them as they get old. Spending a couple grand on tires doesn't seem like it's that big of a deal when later Countachs are worth $300-400k now.

Not 200TW but Nankang now lists the AR-1 in 275/35/15

Good news!
I've received word that Nankang intends to bring it's new tire, the CR-1 - a 200tw, in many sizes... including a 275/35-15!
Since this tire is just entering production, the actual eta for purchase is anywhere from 6 to 12 months out.
Good news, even if its deferred, it's coming!

A bit more info.
225/45R15 in first batch with 245 shortly after. They wrote 245/45R15 but I think that's a typo and the dropdown box to pre-order says 245/40R15.
