or these superlight http://www.tirerack.com/servle...ecial=
and of course ssrs are very popular and light http://www.tirerack.com/upgrad...dClar= Or if you want to stay stock size http://www.tirerack.com/servle...ecial=

15x7+ wheels and 225/45/15 hoosiers.

mike, thinking someone who was actually involved in racing would not have to ask such a silly question

Alot of people either use 205-50-15, 225-50-15 (which is huge!), and Toyo is coming out soon with a 225-45-15.

Never hear of 205-55-15 being used.
