I will admit an r compound would be a huge waste! I also want to confirm that I'm looking for increased turn in response compared to the 245s. I like a super stiff sidewall and solid tread blocks. It honestly could be that I had the wrong tires in this size and am scarred because it gave me a perceived lack of turn in. They are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2.




From my NA Miata days I came to love the Falken Azenis, and it is definitely apparent that the 200tw segment has great size variety in a 16" wheel. I admit, I'm also hoping the increased profile makes life better on our roads.



Can't comment on what tires have stiff sidewalls, but I get what you're after. Maybe a more commonly known stiff sidewall 225 on a lightweight 17x9 might give you enough stretch/stiffness to bring back that crisp turn in?
