falken hasn't release sizing info for their upcoming tire yet... i'd be surprised if they did a 275 but we'll see.
yes the ar-1 will be coming in a 275 late summer, but it's 100tw which doesn't help your situation atm. atm the fastest 200tw is the 245 rival-s... |

SOOOOOOOO To bring this back up.
Yesterday at the SCCA Convention a new class was announced for National Level Solo. "Extreme Street"......think cars like mine but on 200tw "street tires" There appears to be a great deal of excitement about the class and a formal press release is coming later in the week. Do you all think we can leverage this new classification to gain the traction needed to get this conversation started again......hopefully with Yokohama..... Maybe it can be called.......SEX. lol |
The Milwaukee SCCA chapter has been doing "extreme street" classing at a local level for quite a few years with good success. We called it "Tire Limited" here. It's pretty nice to see it carry over to the national arena. Hopefully this move is enough to get a 275 street tire on the market as I would love to sign up for that.

After speaking with the people at Nankang, there is an upcoming 200tw tire from them, and considering the ar-1 is coming in the 275/35-15 size, i have already begun to work on them to produce that 275 in the upcoming 200tw tire - the CR-1.
i'm running gltc, and the ability to keep weight low/power high is the primary reason I'm trying to stay on street tires. if anyone wants to contact them to show support, i think it would help. |
That's great. Do you have an actual contact name or email for people to send?

i reached out to them to see what the best way would be for people to show their support for the new tire/size. i'll check back in as soon as i hear. |
What series/classes would these tires fit into?
Besides the na/nb miata, and honda crowd, are there other chassis that would be interested in this? |

Perhaps a budget (skinny) offering for Countach drivers. 345-35-15 for a single car isn’t a cheap tire.

Not 200TW but Nankang now lists the AR-1 in 275/35/15
https://www.tf-works.com/nankang-mot...QOrP3uBFFvp0-4 |
yup. we knew that was coming... still trying hard to get the cr1 in a 275 for us.
|
Good news!
I've received word that Nankang intends to bring it's new tire, the CR-1 - a 200tw, in many sizes... including a 275/35-15! Since this tire is just entering production, the actual eta for purchase is anywhere from 6 to 12 months out. Good news, even if its deferred, it's coming! |

A bit more info.
225/45R15 in first batch with 245 shortly after. They wrote 245/45R15 but I think that's a typo and the dropdown box to pre-order says 245/40R15. https://www.tf-works.com/nankang-mot...petition-tire/ |

i updated in another thread:
the ar1 is available in 275's atm, but the 275 cr1's have been delayed one year... i don't find this to be good news. consistent pressure is suggested through the fall... |
