Delazy. New engine is SR23VET
I wanted to run 225 45. tyres. Which I was told were available. Only to find out when I went to get them that only Nexen make that size and they cost to much for a crap tyre. So I'm forced to run either 225 50. Which looks pretty gay. Or epic strech 205.
Inclined to just do like you said and run a good compound 205 if these dont sell.
