You do not have to stick with the stock tire size; just the stock wheel
size!  205-50 or 205-55-14s are commonly used.  The Azenis ROCK!  they
probably suck in the rain, but I'm looking forwards to wearing out my S-03s
(they're over 50% gone with about 4000 miles) so I can get a set.

The whole idea of the ST classes is that mods don't make all that much
difference, since the Street Tires end up being the weak link.  You can
probably be competitive without a maxed out list of mods.
