as copied from the GGR rules book:
QUOTE Tires: i. Street tires: Any street tire/wheel combination may be used. Tires must be DOT approved. ii. Race Tires: Race tires may be used, but may not be mounted on wheels wider than seven (7) inches or one inch wider than stock, whichever is greater. This leaves open the possibility of cars being competitive on very large street tires. given the choice, what would be better and more cost effective?? wide street tire/wheel or 7" wide rim with race tire are there DOT tires "close" to being a race tire??? |

Hey Mike. You've already autocrossed at least a few times and attended a school didn't you? I don't think competency is an issue. I'd say it's a toss-up. Personal choice. You'll have fun either way. I'd probably base the decision between street or race rubber on the number of events you think you'll do each year. If you're sure you'll run enough events to justify it go for the race tires. Otherwise I'd stick with good street rubber and save the garage space.
I would like to have race rubber, but it's fun even with my old Dunlops. Here's a clip of one of my runs two weeks ago at the drivers school the local club did. It was fun (duh!) and I learned a lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) See, even anemic 1.7's can have a good time! My point is, either way you'll have a good time. It's just plain fun any way you cut it. -Ben M. |
