Default Road Race tires...where to buy???

Anyone got a lead on where to get good quality Road Racing tires. I need:

2x 225-35-16s
2x 235-45-16s

...for a track car. Seems that Hoerr Racing www.hrpworld.com is the only one that sells road race tires.

Also, what compound do you guys recommend; soft, medium, or hard?

Lastly, since Hoosier seem to be the main value brand, is there an accurate conversion chart where I can convert the metric sizes over to height and width as Hoosier sells their tires?


Thanks guys!

I live in So Cal. Would it be cheaper to buy directly from them or the tire rack?
