Default OK, this is urgent, need to order wheels/tires tonight

I am going to Watkins Glen on Sunday and just realises that my well worn S03 is leaking air ~5 lbs per day. Unless you will suggest otherwise this is not a right tire to bring to a track.

So, my tire / wheel combo buy just got accelerated. What to get? I am going with 18's - for the looks. At to the tire, I will be using it on the street and track (HPDEs).

I like SSR GT3's and for tires Toyo T1-S's might be a good choice.

Default There's a ton about this in the archives. Among others, people like Toyo T1S and S03s.

For less money, people like Kumhos and Pilot Sports.

Do some searching, you'll be amazed at how much information is already here.

OZ SL and S-03s, Pilot Sports, Kumho MXs, or BFG g-Force KDs.

Pilot Sports are definitely not less expensive.

Default I'll take your word for it, I have never priced them.

I should have said - whatever the hell tire it is that Jeff Doyle likes because they are cheaper than S03s.

Default If you really want to drop some cash...

get BBS RS-GT's...they are light as hell and I think they are the best looking rims on the planet right now. You would probably need wheel spacers to fit them over your brakes though. Maya makes a rim that is similar to them. Search for "S4MadManTroLL" he has them on his car right now. But he changes wheels so often that he might have something else on by now.
