I get Grass Roots Motorsports .... and they were talking about Very high performance street tires .... they were very impressed with the new Falken Azenis RT660 .... I checked what TireRack had to say .... they gave it a very high rating also .... for Spyders they have a 225/45-15, which would be perfect for a rear tire. Mileage may not be great with a 200 UTQG. .... but time will tell ..... go to TireRack and see for yourself what they said ( it beat a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 connect ) ...... Mike :thumbup:

If you take at face value the description, you should only have these tires in a place where it never gets below 20* or, if you do, dismount them from the Spyder when it gets cold. They claim that if the tires are exposed to below 20* you need to let them warm up above 40* for 24 hours before putting any load on them, including simply supporting a vehicle.

Interesting info .... thanks .... well track use tires don't normally get used at those temps .... so get the Q-5's instead they actually have a Winter rating ..... Mike :thumbup:
