Shifty, get some r-comps. It's like a bringing a pencil to a gunfight without them. Or, re-class to a street tire class if possible. The tires do ALL handling and braking duties for the car. You can have the best of everything, with non sticky tires you may as well be driving a SUV.
AGREED AGREED AGREED! i drive my suv out there everyday! but....i am going to get some mild slicks here soon. not to steal the thread or anything but i'm trying to lean my car more to track day fun....so whats a good cheap slick for track richv? if not slicks i wanted to go hankook ventus rs-3's but....they don't come in 275's for a 17in wheel. oh btw!....if you do want to stick with street tires....and have the right size wheels to fit some good size tires....rs-3's are where its at. definitely the BEST street tire out there. almosr a slick. oh and also....tire width makes a HUGE difference. a set of 275 hoosier slicks will get destroyed by a set of 315 hoosier slicks....so if you are trying to be competitve in autox and are striving for that....then you need to go big or go home. if you are doing what i am for just fun....then by all means go with a high performance street tire or some mild slicks....street tire being nitto nt05's or and kumho's that are low on the treadwear rating or for slicks maybe richv can add some insight? i know toyo ra-1's are used in NASA.
