    because there "race" spec tyres, so they only make them in limited sizes (not a massive demand for them) sure they do 195/50/15 though

    cant say ive seen any, why does it matter? they may be road legal, but in road driving they will worn out in a few thousand miles if your very lucky. better keeping them for track/drag strip, and running normal tyres the rest of the time.

    The idea of them is to be able to drive to a track day, have your fun, then drive home. (without having to take a jack, spare wheels etc) but tbh your as well taking that anyway lmao

    take spares with you then, i killed a pair of proxes at knockhill with the nova last year (they had about 4mm on them at the start). Track driving is completely different to the road, the tyres really heat up.

    I had spare wheels to get me home though
