I don't think the 8s are more rare. I think there are about twice as many out there as there are 9s.

But the selection of tires to fit the 9s is ridiculously small (1 ultra performance? 1 DOT legal track? 1 Grand Touring?) While the list of tires @ 225/50-16 is quite long.

I think the limited tire selection is making 8s more popular.
