I've opened this thread to see what everybody likes Rubber-wise. (well that came out wrong) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Anyway for AUTO-X iv been using: Falken Azensis 615 205/50R15 in C stock on stock Fuchs(sp) But I'm looking to see what others have been succesfull with in: CS STS2 (up to 225mm but are the 215s working for anybody?) SP MOD I'm also wondering if you use tire size to "regear" your 914. |

I don't mean to harp on this but what size?
I'm thinking of going to STS2 until I get some money for the "STICKY STUFF" As it stands now, I think my 205/50s have lowered my top speed so I'm running out of 2nd gear too early at auto-X. |

I'm thinking of going to STS2 until I get some money for the "STICKY STUFF" As it stands now, I think my 205/50s have lowered my top speed so I'm running out of 2nd gear too early at auto-X. Top speed is not what wins autoxes. If you go up in gearing, your 2nd will top out at a higher speed, but your acceleration out of the corners will suffer. And seeing as most autoxes don't give you a lot of long straights, and do give you a whole heck of a lot of turns, I'd go for the shorter tire package. Now... If you want more stick, and not loose gearing, the Hoosier 225/45-15 or the 275/35-15 both have the same effective diameter as the 205/50-15. If you're going for taller tires in autox, then you really need the torque to back it up... -Josh2 |
