In the best "say it ain't so" attitude, I asked and got the following
response from Yokohama. What choices are there for radials other than R1s?
Our race org (VARA) limits to 60-series (70-series for Group 1 cars). Just
put on my last set A008Rs last weekend in Phoenix and didn't take back the
old ones (and they had at least 25 good miles left on them)!

Unfortunately, Yokohama no longer manufactures any racing compound tire in
60 series 15" sizes. Thank you for your interest in Yokohama products.

Comments: I have been purchasing A008R in size 205/60-15 for vintage
sportscar racing. Is this a discontinued tire? Is there inventory available
through your dealers if they have been discontinued? What is your
"replacement" tire given I must run 60 series tires?
