Makes me almost wish I was still autocrossing my BMW 320i with 13" wheels...
:)  Do you (or anyone) know of a similar source for used 15" race tires?
Preferably 205/50/15.  Would John have these?  I'm planning to pick up a
cheap set of rims and cheap tires specifically for autox next year.  I'd
planned to throw cheap street tires on so I could stay in ST, but if I can
get a deal on cheap race rubber I might splurge and give STR a try.
