And Kgolf31 I know some tires heat up quicker than others. What is best for road course vs AutoX? I drive road courses and need something that will hold up for 30 min sessions at speed, not overheat or get greasy...

I want lower consumable cost of 17" tires w/ more options, squared for rotation..

I am looking at DTW LT5 17x9 +41 Square set ( 5mm spacer up front, camber -2.2 F -1.5 R), likely 245 but perhaps a 255 if on a stiffer sidewalled tire.

If you can find some RS3v1 still floating around somewhere, pick those up in a heartbeat.

The RS3v2 heat up much quicker than the v1 versions but on the flip side they grease over much quicker. I never had to spray v1 tires, on the v2 tires after 2-3 runs in 70F+ I had to spray to keep them cool.

ZIIs will overheat even faster than the RS3v2s



The new RE-71Rs have been pretty impressive so far. People have had the tire temps at 130+ and keep on throwing down faster times. However no one really have put them on a track yet. I'd kind of wait for that, they are a high wear tire (people are projecting 100-120 runs on an autocross course and they're history).

The AD08Rs are pretty impressive as well, I may actually lean this way. Driven on them with a different car, not mine. But I was impressed.
