Any chance you're going to bring those over in other sizes than what's listed on your site? Specifically a 235/45/17 or 245/45/17 (for use on 8" wide wheels)?
I've run 225/45/17 Michelin Pilot Sport Cups at the track before and they were awesome tires. When I traded the WRX in for the STi, I kept the Sport Cups and bought Rota Torques as my track wheel. The 225 Sport Cups will fit fine, but really aren't taking full advantage of the wider wheel. When these wear out (I expect another 1 or 2 track days out of them) I'll need a replacement. It doens't look like you carry Sport Cups in a 235 or 245 width either.
If you won't have Sport Cups or the Tech R's in 235 or 245 width, what would be your next recommendation?
