yeah, the scca stuff getting cool. With the RoadTire classes going to 180 that only leaves the star spec and the RE11 and I guess the extreme contactDW. It would be cool if the Star Spec Z2 had more PT sizes but I really don't see that happening. The new BFG looks great, its all rubber, check out Kyle tuckers car in the optima coverage and dig the tread pattern, but I don't think smaller sizes are going to be in the mix there.
I have never driven on NT05 hard but those who seem to like them. The guys in the know don't much care for them.
This thread is interesting, it started in '01 but gets current towards the end of page 2.
