Brian, I didn't know you had one of your autocross videos on youtube. Pretty cool, I hope you didn't wreck your tires on this unless they were not your regular driving tires. The tires were good menough to prevent you from hitting the cones, Although I would assume the skill of the driver has something to do with that! --tpcassidy
Well I don't really like them, but they seem to be working. The sidewalls are soft, so at 28 psi in the front, the car feels very sloppy, but that produces the best time. I seem to be running faster times than almost anyone on the azenies, so the Dunlop Z1 is a sticky tire. I have only ever had 15s on my car, but I've driven a friends 1.8 NA on 14in Azenis, and I liked that feel better (more responsive and communicative), but I'm not sure if it was quicker.

Agreed about the tires.

Yeah, it's a shame they don't make many (if any) tires with a lower aspect ratio than 50 or so for a 15 x 6 inch rim.
Nice video BTW, camera mounted to roll bar?

How did you like the feel of the 195/55 tire on a 1.6l NA?
