What AUTO-X Tire do you use? Wheels too!, Tires for AUTO-X and Racing Options

[bjinright]

I've opened this thread to see what everybody likes Rubber-wise. (well that came out wrong) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Anyway for AUTO-X iv been using:

Falken Azensis 615 205/50R15 in C stock on stock Fuchs(sp)

But I'm looking to see what others have been succesfull with in:

CS
STS2 (up to 225mm but are the 215s working for anybody?)
SP
MOD

I'm also wondering if you use tire size to "regear" your 914.

Last weekend there was a viper in ASP, kind of hard competition for a 2.0 six. Especially considering that the 2.0 4cyl is only like 10hp less and is in DSP.

I know this sounds like a pointless exercise, but... write a letter.

No, really. It's terribly obvious that the six shouldn't be in ASP, but until the SCCA gets letters from people asking for reclassification, it'll remain in ASP because they've got a cr*p load of other cars to worry about that have far more people driving them.

There are very few actual 914-6's out there (compared to BMW M3s, Vettes, Civics, Miatas etc.), and even fewer that still have an original unmolested 2.0L motor in them. So it's no so much that they have deliberately classed the six against the latest and greatest ubercars, it's just that it's soooo not on their radar, that they've left in in the same class it was originally placed in back in the 80's...

Really, write a letter. Pick a few cars today that you can compare the car to. Use things like weight, power, torque as basics for comparison. I would tend to say that the 2.0L six might be able to better find a home in CSP, against the miatas of today (no small task, let me tell you). At least then, it's in a class with similar cars...

Just saying that the six has only 10 hp more than four won't work though. That's in stock form, and SP gives a lot more capabilities to some cars under the allowances. If a 2.0L six was given unlimited intake and exhaust modifications (as is allowed in SP), I think the gap between the 2.0L four and the 2.0L six would be a bit wider...

Just my $0.12 (inflation ya know...)
