I would agree with most of these comments. But having autocrossed quite a bit both on the A046 tires and on Hoosier A3S03s... the difference between them is dramatic. The A046 tires are great street tires if you don't mind the short life -- but as competition tires, they're not even playing in the same league with dedicated competition tires like the Hoosiers.

OK, let me rephrase. Street legal R compounds

I recall you had some nice numbers at altered. BTW, what class would we auto x now?

Best fit is Street Modified. It's basically a class for four seaters with unlimited engine modifications allowed.

There are displacement and weight restrictions, but the Evo isn't close to the limits on either one of them.

You guys using the ES-100's... how do you like them? I'm looking at those, or the MX's. I like the idea of the wet traction of the ES-100's, but I'm afraid that they will have too much sidewall flex for my liking.

Any one have a link to a chart showing the actual tread widths of these various tires compared to the OE's? I'm sure you guys know that the advertised cross section is not accurate on most makes. The Azenis, for example seem to run over 1/2" wider than advertised... seems I remember the A046's being the same way.
