Need some help deciding on a summer / autocross / lapping tire!

Yeah, the RT615 having a 14 and 15 offering is certainly advantagous for us old schoolers. Many of the newer street tire class contenders totally ignore 14", and miss the mark on the 15" by offering a 195/55-15 instead of a 205/50-15. The 195/55 is a bit narrower and taller than the 205/50.
I just ordered a new set of wheels to fit my '83, and will be tossing a set of old RT615's on them to finish off. I may step up to actual r-comps, or stick with the RT615 for the next set of race rubber. The RT615 can be driven to/from events a little easier than R-comps. Too risky when it comes to punctures.
