As seems to be my pattern, I just bought a set of these for the Meeotter without a ton of information. My Z2's are pretty much dead, money's a little tight and there aren't a whole lot of options in 14 inch tires. TireRack has a pretty killer deal on these. I ended up getting a set for about $70 a corner once the rebate comes in. I know they aren't the "preferred" autocross tire, but I'm throwing this out there as a placeholder for a future review and to let you all know about what I thought was a pretty incredible price.

The latest interwebs rumors has this new "+" update as having the same compound as the current ZII Star Spec. So now the 615 is only half a generation behind the latest tech

There are so few 14" options right now, so this is definitely a welcome option.

Since I've been running 2 year old Z2's, the current Star Spec compound would be an upgrade. They're also slightly wider than the Dunlops at 195 vs 185, assuming they are measuring section width the same. They are also slightly bigger in diameter, so theoretically, I should pick up an extra MPH or 2 at the redline for each gear. (See how I talked myself into the $70 option vs. the $130 Dunlops?)

We just bought two sets for a mk4 jetta we're running in chump car next month. I'm curious to see how they do.
