For most of the year I ran AVON tires in dry conditions, while using Bridgestones for wet days and "street tire" classes.
The Avon "tyres" have a very strong side wall and are very sticky. I feel their draw back is the 23# they weigh. This is caused by the steel reinforced construction but puts them at 5# more than KUHMO and some other good brands. But, they are a good buy if purchased on close-out from Tire Rack. 
I've settled on the Tire Rack Sport Edition D4 $59 each (closeout) + 50mm offset, 14.5 lbs for my rim of choice for H-Stock. Other new wheels I've located run $1000+ for a set of four.  Way out of my price range for this class.
I'm planning to begin the 2008 season on KUHMO's to reduce the weight by 5# per wheel.
My off-track tires are KUHMO sport 205x50x15's mounted on light-weight 7" wide rims. I wouldn't recommend running any wider tire on a Fit 15" wheel. |
Goodluck with your events.
The Tirerack Sport Edition D4 with +50 offset is sold out and not coming back, they have only +38mm offset left and only 3 last time I checked.
These wheels are made by Kosei and the price is going up so Tirerack decided not to carry them. If you check country of origin the Sport Edition wheels vary.
Your 15x7 wheels have what offset? Which wheel? Any rubbing with that setup?
