What is the speed and tread compound rating on those, can't complain about the price.

I have the same combo on my car and like the look. I'm currently running Pzero's on all 4 corners. I've been looking at my options for the track days in June and *might* do something as crazy as the new Kumo XS's:

Rears are $222, fronts are $120. Clearly, i need to read some more reviews tho...much better than the $499 each for the Pirelli's.

I love my 17 x 11 and 17 x 8 combo with 245/40 and 335/35 tires.
you can save 300.00 by dropping the rears to 315/35
That combo has the most available styling choices and all the vendors carry
a nice selection, many like the Campy recreation look, I understand there
are 3 or 4 versions with each having its all traits.
Lots of people like the +1 deal with either 16 front and 17 rear or 17 front
and 18 rear.
I think the only definite is that there is no good higher performance rubber
in 15" available, but if you have desirable 8 and 10 combo you look for the
best that you can get,
if you have the monster 15 x 10 and 15 x 13 ? Racing wheels, you deal with
that on another level.
Let us know what you decide, if you look on my website, I have some posted
photos of tires and wheels
