The Hoosier's that came with my car are shot. As a
novice to autoxing would Kumho's be a good tire to use? I read the buyers reports on the TireRack website overall the comments were ok for Autox use. I have a set of Fuch's that I was planning to put a set of Kumho's on for daily use. My thought was to try them on a few autoX's if I like them then get another set for the fuch's and keep the used ones on the spare set of rims for autoxing. They will be 205-50-15. Garold |

I agree about the Vracers. I had a set on my car when it was stock (2.0 '74) and it made the biggest difference switching to them from street tires. For auto-x they hook up nice and for track events the come into the sweet spot nicely and stay there. When the get too hot on the track, they tend to get greasy, but once cooled down they seem to come back. And they last pretty long.
Of course, who am I to say....over the past 12 months I've gone from a "i'm just going to go out there and have fun" type of guy to a "i'm going to go out there and have fun, with a tricked out money pit" type of guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Just watch out...if you're weak like me, it can get out of hand...it all started with the tires!!! You could end up like this.... Attached image(s)
