I am sure they will cost an arm and a leg.

Yeah all these new sticky street tires are going right up to R comp prices.

For autocross it's almost defeating the whole deal that SCCA is trying to do by moving stock classes to street tires. These would not even meet the 2015 criteria for that at 180 UTOG but I'm sure they will bump it 20 if they see the market.

nice tires

theyre supposed to come out for the C7 too - hopefully the 245/285 sizing

luke have you guys tried the pirelli trofeos? I recently purchased a set of re11s from you guys but would like to get something stickier for my c6 (but not hoosier territory) once I get an extra set of wheels that I can store during the colder months...

I have had Trofeos and they are very similar to Sport Cups.

I only got about 1000 miles plus 5 sessions before they blistered and saw the cords. Too expensive and just didn't last for me to go back.
