I was talking tires with a friend, so we started to poke around the Tire Rack website...

He mentioned the Bridgestone RE070, which is a stock OEM Subaru WRX STi tire.
This particular tires is not listed under the Bridgestone manufacturer option!
You need to search under the proper size (225/45/17) to get the tire to come up!
Is Tire Rack hiding tires???

Searching under "255/40/17", I found the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 - popular J-spec drift tire.
It looks like the real thing!
Not some redesigned (i.e. harder compound for U.S. consumption) tire like the J-spec Dunlop Formula FM901 versus the U.S. version Dunlop Sport FM901.

$108 per tire!

Yep, and the Direzza isn't listed under the Dunlop manufacturer listing either...

So either these tires are super new and not linked to tire manufacturer links, or Tire Rack has them buried in their website inventory???
