I bought these new tires and I'm impressed even before I have mounted them. They are wet racing tires. I went with the wet because I wanted to be able to race in the rain and dry. They are for auto-x so tread wear won't be major. the 205's that I bought are wider than my standard 215's.

With grooves that big you'll be able to run hard through the puddles even.

yeah, a guy on a local car forum said they almost look like offroad tires as a joke.

well i mounted the tires and to my surprise they suck in the rain. I learned that traction level c is bad. I went to the hoosier website and they said that their wet tires are not that good in wet conditions. Funny. They did say that they are good in dry conditions. So they are basicly groved slicks. I feel a little cheated because if i knew that before I would have just bought slicks. But it happens.
