Dont see why they wouldnt fit. 240 is the width and 610 is the height (24in). That will give similar gearing as running a 4.3 vs a 4.1 diff. I really like the shorter gearing on the 225/40 R7's (those are 23.8")

I'd love to know how they work, and they are 100TW so that is a plus (if that effects classing for you, it does for me). I'd guinea pig but season is over here until September.

TDs were a badass tire if you want to set records or PBs
Basically a TA or qualifying tire. Tires were good for a weekend only..8 heat cycles max.

I currently use medium z214s in 245/40/17. Just about as fast as a TD but last much much longer. Were about $750 last time I bought them and are a good compromise to a Hoosier.

RE71Rs.. these are constantly run in W2W street-tire endurance series and known as the cheater tire. a very sticky 200TW street tire. I'd run these any day over some of the fancy looking 100TW out there.

They also cost twice as much as some of the tires brought up in this thread. Some of us just want cheap tires to run.

Sharing my opinion and a glimpse into what is working well on race cars. Everybody has different goals and budgets.
