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.

You now see the reason Betty and I don't run SCCA AX any more. 914s were successful in SCCA autocross for years, then they got legislated out of competitiveness.
