Autocross Tires for 2013

[wrc_fan]

I'm looking at 205/50/15s, if those don't look like they'll be here in time, I'll get another set of RS-3s

The Direzza ZIIs at that size for you? Do you think they will be that backed up? I hope not. I am going to probably look into ordering mine sometime in March and have them by the Summer.

I think everyone running in STC will be looking at that tire, so it'll be popular. Proabably a pretty good miata size too... I'll make a decision at the end of the week.

I'll be running the purple crack hoosiers, reverse stagger, 275/35R15 and 225/45R15

although for our winter events, or downpour situations, I have been running Conti DW, not optimally sized at 215/40R17 (they were spare available wheels)

Well, not all of us on full on race tires just yet like you ... but I will say, I am envious.

Until then, the Direzza's and the Hankooks have my money.

I think I'm going to start the year on ZIIs and get the same setup as Norm in time for FocusFest.

I feel like the TMZ of autocross tires

Methinks he is talking about the Bridgestone RE-11a

this is way better news than TMZ.

Bstone better bring their price down...

Fwiw, ymmv.....

i just got off the phone with the dunlop rep, he said it is a dual layer tire, and thegood rrubber runs out at 5/32.

That's my goal as well. To have the ZIIs or another set of RS3s by FocusFest.

But from I am reading, the ZIIs are very very promosing.
