The soon (?) to arrive RAC group buy wheels could use wider tires but may be OK with the 235/265 sizes.

One of the great advantages IMO to the Cups over all of the R rated tires, that I know of, is that they can be used on either side of the car to even wear. Since the outside front tire always wears faster, left front on the typical clockwise course, the ability to switch sides extends their life considerably without the expense of remounting.

BTW, I have a set of CS wheels with slightly worn MPSC's on them I'll let go for a reasonable fee. It was only driven by an older gentleman on Sundays...
J/K Maury !!

I don't know if this has been posted on this board but two members (Amazin aka Maury and Jim Michaels) did very well in the recent PCA Parade Autocross in Charlotte with Maury comming in first and I think Jim came in second.

A BIG CONGRATS GUYS !!!
