www.tirerack.com has a vast array of tires in that size that are not drag radial or slick like BFG g-Force TA/KD, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, Yokohama AVS, Sumitomo HTRz and Dunlop SP8000. Looks like ya got to look harder.

The Sumitomo's are the only 1 that's under 250 bucks a copy at 107 each. The others pretty well start at 253 and work their way up to well over 300 each. You picked just about the most expensive wheel to put skins on that you could. Hope you knew about that beforehand.

You're welcome.

I just got Sumitomo HTR Z's...look good, balanced well for a tire that size(mine w/out weights were only 15g or less out on each side) I like them...you get what you pay for sort of...the Sumi is better than the price would indicate...Michelin Ps2's are friggen $500 or so, but dont seem to be worth an extra $400.
