Topic: What tires do you recommend?

Looking for tires that can last a race weekend with good performance for your average awd sedan, any recommendations for good race worthy rubber? Cheers

Re: What tires do you recommend?

If you are only running Lemons, I've had success with the falken 615k+ (not the regular 615s, they are reportedly designed for autocross).

Re: What tires do you recommend?

The answer depends a little bit on the size/weight of the car. We run the Falken Azenis 615K+ on our cars.

Douglas brand is pretty good. Would not dismiss Lionhart  also.
