It looks like they're targeting the 200TW autocross crowd - "faster warmup," benchmarking on the SCCA Solo Nats course. In 315/30-18, they're $50 a tire cheaper than the Yoko A052. Not sure if 0.86 seconds faster than the SUR4 gets them to the same time as the Yokes, though. They only a bit pricier than the Falken Azenis RT660 in that size.

Since this a new tire, you may also be seeing more of the affect of inflation on "current production" pricing, where Tire Rack may not be adjusting prices on stock-on-hand (bought at a lower price) as much until they get the next shipment from the manufacturer that includes a price increase.

The Consumer Price Index has increased by over 8% year-over-year in both March & April 2022 (this is the standard "inflation" number), but the Producer Price Index was about 11% for both. So, in general, costs to manufacturers are increasing at a higher rate than they're passing along to consumers right now.
