Tires

I'm curious why you went with the Toyos? I'm looking for something for autox, street and an occasional track day. I can't decide!

Went with the T1R's because:

- They last twice as long
- They are almost half the price
- They are good in the rain
- Grip is almost the same as the stock elise tires - but not quite, so i increased the width from 225 to 245 to make up for it.
- I can't have soft tires like the R888's when I live on a sharp gravel road.
