Find me some 19" OZ Mito and I will be happy to buy them.

OZ Mito some models are discontinued; are they still available?

Unfortunately no. They do come up occasionally on a couple of BMW sites but you have to be really fast as they sell really fast.
I have seen three sets of 19" Oz Mito in my life and would love to land a set as both my 91 Aerobody and 93 Ruby would have 18x10 fronts and 19x12 rears.
I have a couple other ideas that I have been working on that I will keep you in the loop.
Fronts will be 18x10 56MM offset 1.5" polished lip 8.5" standard finish barrel.
Rears will be 19x12 37 to 39 MM offset (When I get closer I will measure everything to get the correct fitment) 2.5" polished lip 9.5" standard finish barrel.
They wont be cheap I am sure. But having the Ability to put 345/30/19 sport cup tires on the rear of my cars will be worth the cost.

That might change up the finishing order of the autocross!

OUch.....fixable though. Glad Paul was okay.

I ran some 345 30 19 pilot sport cups on the CCW rims and LOVED the tire for about 5k miles. but after getting a bunch of hard runs and heat cycles on them they actually lost a tremendous amount of grip only after being about a year old.

expensive, but worth it. great tire. just don't be disappointed if they lose traction before they lose the tread (and there ain't much) they go away quick.

like to try the new mich super sports. not as sticky as the cups, but hopefully they handle almost as well and will give more than 5k of tread life

LOVE the Toyo RA1s (and likely would the R888s) but they don't make them in the 19' sizes I need

335 or 345 rears, 285 or 295 up front

anybody got great deals on the michelins???
