Hi Guys, I finally ordered a set of TWS T66Fs from Japan.
17x8 +42, 14lb wheels. Arriving in 2 weeks.

To stick with the goal of lightest wheel/tire combo on stock setup, i want to stick with stock tire size, since all 215/45/17s tires still seem to allow 7-8 wheel widths, improve grip esp. during hard braking, be useable in rain, but still allow some play/slide at full lock + throttle.

So far, looking around shows that the lightest tires would be in the Max Perf. Category, all at 19 lbs,
1. Michelin PS4 180+USD
2. Continental Extreme 150+USD
3. VENTUS V12 EVO2 105+USD
4. EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 141+USD

How are these 4 comparable? the Ventus with a low price looks really tempting too.
