I am in need of new autox tires and the offerings have changed a bit since I last bought a set.
I am curious as to what people are running?, what do you like? is there a good trade off cost/performance? I will be mounting them on 15x6 cookie cutters |

What are the limits for your car's class - diameter/width/treadwear-rating/etc ?

Small region pca rules and i am in improved class so not much in the way of limits via rules. But I can't run a tire larger than 205/50 15 due to wheels. Sometimes it might be nice to run a 195/60 or 205/60 for taller gearing |

Thanks, that is good to know. I am more than likely going for a DOT R tire. |

Thanks, that is good to know. I am more than likely going for a DOT R tire. Hoosier / Continental have a new 200 tw tire that's getting good reviews, but not sure how it would perform at lower / AX temps. Toyo makes some DOT R tires, but again, not great when cold. I've run R888R's and RR's (full slick) but both are meant as a track tire and are miserable when cold. |
