What is your budget? Cheap are GTO spares with M&H Racemaster tires. More expensive by alot but nicer are CCW's.

I have been told you can buy them from the dealership fairly cheap. Not sure of the part # but do a search maybe...likely less than $80 each if I recall. Then, I recommend the M&H Racemaster tire replacement over the temporary spares. You can also find them used here or on the auction site.

I run these and the performance is greatly enhanced. They look out of place in the current black color but this can be corrected by some paint.
