My R888s were $225 in 205/50/15 so I'd shop around.
For reference that was Tyretek at Albion in Brisbane, who do a club discount.

thats a nice discount if its normaly 262... though NSW prolly just has a bigger tax on it knowing my luck.

The Ebay Kumho's are private, the ones Boyracer refers to are 16's that the Lotus's use not the 15's but happy to be proven wrong. Put some bids in and get them cheap if you can, if not get the 205/225 R888's and be done with it! The 215's are the parallel imports in GGG (soft) and the 205/225's are the GG (normal) compound.

Go to Blairs. Talk to the owner at Narellan, who did a Tech Talk for the club last year and hit him hard for a good price.
he wont hit back?
bought the dodgy ebay ones, figured even if they are at 50% if im paying less than half price im ahead.
so ill smiles all teeth.
and this way i have more money to pay off the car with or buy an lsd... or a roll bar... or an ecu... or cams....
damn thats a big black hole
