Default Pat, these are all within a few pounds of each other. The better tire should be your pick IMO...

...Hoosiers, however, are known for being light due to the use of fiberglass in their sidewalls.

Default Speaking of the Hoosier...

I know they were going to make a race compound tire with tread. Is that out yet?

Oh and thanks for the reply.

Default I agree with LCP, the Kumho's or Hoosiers will be light...

i just put a set of 225x45x17 Kumho's (full tread) on my track wheels.

They are LIGHT...and not TOO bad in the rain.

The new Kumho V7000's have a more streetable tread pattern from comparing my tires to Taner's.

Default They make some now

This would make a great rain tire, but it's not DOT legal (so we can't run it in our class for SCCA autox):

Default Are those the same wheels as the one's on the Stasis WC car?

What size and how much do they weigh? TIA
