Wow! Avon's are expensive. Here's pricing from RK Racing 1/31-2008:
245/60VR15 312.00
275/55VR15 354.00
295/50VR15 365.00

Hhmm, these may not be my first set of tires...

What's a next step below the Avon's? Yokohama?

I've heard a big "no" on Goodyear Eagle GT II's, as well as the BG Goodrich Radial T/A's.

What about Firestone Indy 500's?

Again, I'm just getting my ERA 289 FIA down onto all fours. I can't imagine doing anything completely nutz (i.e. full throttle at the track) for a little while, so super sticky may not be what I need right of the bat.

Suggestions?
