Toyo Proxies RA-1 are the cats-***. I dont think I'd select any other rubber sized 205/60.

Which one would be the better choice for a street/occasional autox tire, the Ziex or the HTR 200?

Yea I am looking for one that is street use maybe all weather around good if anything at least rain if it dosen't have snow. Also that is good for auto crossing occasionaly. Also for a rim size 13" and a size from 205 to 215 the most. If possible a good price range and if anyone can give some recommedation to what tires to check that would be great because I need to get some tires pretty soon. Thanks In Advance!

What's going to work best for autocrossing isn't neccessarily what's going to work best for street driving, especially in wet weather. Just a thought.

my 12a beater car (my first running RX-7 and autocross *****) ran those sumitomos in 205s my first autocross season. They held up well and make a great street tire, but yeah they will roll under pretty bad if not at the proper pressure.

I can't imagine driving the proxy RA-1s on the street, that's insane! we use those on our ITA RX-3. We've only put about 3 autocrosses (albeit with 2 drivers) on those tires and the rears are down to about half tread depth. Although, when they get hard they get ROCK hard and I'll bet you can get some good life out of them after X heat cycles
