need good autocross/track tires

eastsyder · 07-11-2011, 09:56 PM

the stock Potenzas are almost toast on my 09 touring (19''). i want something stickier for autocross and track days. my friend recommended the Hankook RS3's but they don't appear to come in 245/40ZR19 and 275/35ZR19

any recommendations??

Thanks for the advice

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11?

The RS-3 is a great tire but sizing is extremely limited. I would go with the Bridgestone RE-11's, they performed very well at auto-x and track for me.

and I like the yokohama neova AD-08s. have to run 255/295, but they perform great double duty also.

RE11, AD08, RS3 - good but expensive.

Yokohama S.Drive, Extreme Contact DWS, Hankook V12 K10 - descent, a little easier on the wallet.
