Anyone know whether I can get them or a good alternate for the sizes I have. I did not see anyone mention Hawk pads, which are my pad of choice on my spec miata, has anyone had any experience with Hawk blacks or HPS?
As steve said, go with 225/45-17 for the front. That is a better sizer regardless if the 205's are available

Costco does not have RE-71's in our sizes on the website. Go into a store and they can order them

Tire rack has them on the website with 225 fronts
