Evo x slicks all four or just the front?
Hey guys i just curved the **** out of my passenger side rims, and since I needed tires i got 2 options, go with a whole new set of rims and tires maybe some rpf1,or stick with my xxr 527 , buy two new ones and just get 2 slick for the messed up ones and leave them for my autox days. To me it sounds ridiculous to just get 2 slicks on an awd car but hear me out , I went to my first and only auto x event(last of the season) and this guy was running on an evox , he got there and swap the 2 front wheels with exact rims but slicks and left the rears as they were?.. This guys seems to know his **** when it comes to auto x and told me that he was racing for a couple of years..any recommendations? What do you guys think there's like a $1000 difference if not more which I much rathers trow on something else
thx in advance

Thats what i tou , btw this guy was pretty cool and a great helper, i might be confused but im pretty sure that he just swapped the front wheels only either way , i didnt even think about the tranny but yes it makes sense . I guess i might just get new rims and tires maybe some rpf1 thx guys

I really hope that you are talking about your AutoX only set up, especially since the winter/ snow is almost here. Either way this is a horrible idea…some A6s up front and all season on the rear? Also running those tires will place you in a different class if you are running with the SCCA.
If you want to AutoX with these “slick” tires you will need a new set of wheels (4) and (4) tires. You will want to swap tires at the event because…just read about those tires.

Autocrossing you want the all four tires to have the same grip for predictable handling. Drag racing it is ok to run slicks on the drive axle and non grippy tires on the non drive axle. But in the case of AWD you are screwed and need to double it…lol
