Chris you probably already ordered them but Costco in Waipio has pretty good deals on RE11s if you like them and they work for your size.

My only concern with Hoosiers is that you probably need more seat time with street tires before you can take full advantage of a set of race slicks. Most of those guys auto-x with us in Hawaii region have been doing it for decades. Heck, I want to say there are at least 5-8 National Championship drivers in the field. My point is they make it look easy on slicks. Learning on street tires for 1-2 season will work out any bad habits and make you much faster (1-2 seconds) on slicks.
