Track & Autocross wheel sizing?

Heeley · 04-10-2009, 11:26 AM

well, there's the first autocross of the season coming up on mother's day, so I'm going to give it a go on my street tires, which are a mismatched set of michilin pilot sport 225's up front, and 245 sumitomo htrz's in the back. regardless of how well i do, it'll be fun! I might duck across the border this summer and buy a set of tires stateside and drive back on them. Tires are a ton more expensive in Canada. I was looking at the Direzza D1's, and they're anywhere from $250 to $300 per tire, which seems pretty offside compared to tirerack's prices.
