[s-cars] tires

[Lee Levitt]

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I got the Z1 Star Spec. The 
regular Z1s were discontinued and all old stock was cycled, replaced 
with the Star Spec. The new tire is supposed to warm up faster, 
better, more consistent performance on the autocross course.

Funny you should mention the RT-615. I just picked up a used set for 
$100 for my son to go autocrossing...
