What options do I have for an AX tire? I have looked at tirerack and it looks like my only choice is Toyo Proxes RR. Except they are out of stock.

Suggestions?

Thanks here is the patient.
Just throwing this out as food for thought

225/50 on a 7 is right in the middle of the spec range for that tire to perform at it's best it would want an 8

245/45 on an 8 is similarly situated but for best results it would really want a 9

By using 205/50 and 225/45 on the 7 & 8 you have both an inertial and gearing advantage while getting the most from those tires

A052, R888R, Direzza Z2 Star spec all come in those sizes
