because when you run the scca national tour u have to run the tire rack banner because they are a sponser... some people leave it on some take it off

The AutoX tires they do have are mad expensive, unless you find a closeout special price

But their shipping fast (Reno i think) and is cheaper than most, but that goes out the window with their prices

oops double post

Tirerack just lowered their price on RE01-R, which make it just a bit more expensive than RT-615s. IMHO, RE01-R is a better deal than the Falkens right now. The RE01-R has better sizing too. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes....num=44WR7RE01R

Oh, and MX is not even in the same league as RT-615. I picked up more than a full second just by switching to 615 from MX on a 60 second course. I think RE01-R or Neova would worth another half a second or so.
