hey Jim, quick one for you...
...I'm trying to pick out another set of autocrossers, and I'm kinda partial to Yoko's Advan A032R. I now have to move up to a 14" b/c of the brake upgrade.
You think I could smash a set of 195/60's on my car? That should be no problem at all right?
ohhh .... even better, how about the Kumho Ecsta V700 225/50's... ...yeah, stick like f*n glue to that track... ....although those might just be a little too wide to fit.... whatch'a think
I just can't see being able to make 225/50 work unless you had a body shop rework the fenders. If you went with 45mm offset I'm positive that you'd be rubbing the suspension all the time and I still think your be rubbing the fender as well.
To bad no one seems to make 215/55-14 or 205/55 or 205/50.
And I even went to a site and looked at toyo's autocrossing tire, no dice their either.
If 14 is where it's at for you get these Falken Azenis Sport $44 a tire!

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/ has them for $52, but they are offering free shipping.
The non street tires like the V700 ect are allot faster on a course, giving you 2 seconds a run fast et's on a 40 second course. But they just don't offer any of the brands in the size you need to use 14"
BTW I have a "R-Compound tire test" from the latest GrassRootsMotorSports magizine. They tested the Kumho ECSTA V700, Toyo Proxes RA-1, Hoosier A3503, and Kumho V700 Victoracer. Plus they did a "Street tire test" with the BfGoodrich g-force T/A KD, Falken Axenis Sport, Kumho ESCTA Supra 7712, and Hankkok Ventus Sport K104. I highly recommend that you grab a copy of the magizine, it's the november issue, borders and barnes and nobel should have it right now.
