What sort of rubber are your competitors using Tom?

Not sure they are available for you but I'm using Hoosier Street TDs 185/60-13. They are a very short tire 20.6 diameter with a 7" section width. Note they are bias ply, pretty much slicks with grooves in them. I started using them because they fit under the rear fenders without clearance issues. I've stuck with them because they've made me very competitive.

Not sure of your rules their.

I have used Kumho Ecsta V70A but am now using Hankook Z214,225/45R13 C5 compound they fit on 7" rims and fit under the guards(slight massage of outer lip)
Try Federal 595

I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that the 175x60x13 Kuhmo V70A's that I have been using are just a tad to small and to be honest while they are okay, are not as good as the old Bridgestone RE520S's that I used previously ( and they were the thick end of 10years old before they ever hit the track.
Unfortunately the 4 door does not enjoy the rear guard clearance that the coupe does so I am very limited in my sizing. 185x60x13 will be the biggest that I can go and that will involve some inner guard massaging!
Options here in New Zealand are limited but what is on offer is Yokahama A048's at $239 each or Toyo R888R's at $405 each!!There is also the R888 at $300.
Has anybody had any experience with any of these tyres?
Also can anybody tell me what is the tyre of choice in improved production in Australia?
Any other recommendations?
Cheers
Dave
