What is the production date of the 205/45/17 tires?
I am trying to decide between these and the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tires in the 215/40/17 size. I want a good set of tires for performance driving events on the track.
Awesome deals, I actually wish I was in need of some new tires right bout now. I don't know that it's such a good idea to refer to a sale on tires as a blowout though. lol
Why does 'blowout' just not sound right to advertise a tire sale?
Sorry for the play on words, but I thought it fit more than firesale - tire fires are hard to put out, they like to burn out witch would take longer than we'll have available quanities.

Hello Alex,
What size would you suggest for a GP, 18x7 wheel and the OEM tire size is 205/40-18. I am looking at these tires listed below.
Bridgestone RE01R
Bridgestone RE-11
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
Kuhmo XS

Unfortunately all of these tires smallest size is 225/40/18 - not too Mini freindly. I'd do the 205/40/18 PS2
Will this size fit on The 16" Enkei RPF1 or SSR Type C you sell?
225/50/16's will mount from 6-8 inches. The RPF1 we sell is 16x7 and the SSR C type is 6.5. Both will accept the tire no issues.
Also will 235-40-17 fit on a 17x7.5 +45 wheel?
235/40/17 Re01R's mount from 8-9.5 inches. You could run them on 17x7.5, but I'd be concerned about tramlining due to squeezing the tire down below spec. Not an issue for a dedicated autoX set, but could prove to be irritating for street use in daily driving.
I guess I'm just trying to find out if the RE-01R "runs big"?
Compaired to other performance tires in its size, its section width is average, 9.5 inches.

Do you think any of those sizes will cause rubbing on an R56 like mine. I'm not lowered yet, but plan to later this year when possible.
