Re: Track tires
These are supposedly the hot ticket for track tires you can drive on the street:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+R-S3&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=54WR7Z222XL&tab=Sizes

The 205 size isn't available, but the 225/45/17 will fit a 7" boxster front rim; Discount tire carries these also.

Does the Kumho XS come in those sizes? It would also be It's a good track tire but I wouldn't want to drive in a thunderstorm with them.

Another choice. could be the Sumitomo HRTZ lll (?); an inexpensive max perf. tire that some guys like at the track.
