Any of you guys running these for time attack/auto cross/canyon runs? I would be mounting them on the following:

Work XD9 (F: 18x8.0/R: 18x9.0)
Tokico Illum w/ RB springs
Fenders are not currently rolled

I was thinking 245/35 in front and 275/30 in the back. I think I would be fine out back, but 245 might be a little big for the front without a roll.

Sorry for the n00bness, I searched and came up with zilch. Any and all feedback for these tires and sizes is greatly appreciated. School is in session!

 

Picture of tire, just to jog memories.

 

Yokohama's coming out with some new R-comps, the AO50's I believe.

If you haven't bought them, and are budget minded, I would go with some other R-comps in that class, Toyo R888 or Nitto NT-01. The Yoko's are just too overpriced.

If you're getting them for cheap, they're a pretty good tire.

 

It looks like you can find them for around $150-230 a piece, which I guess isn't too bad. Maybe the new A050 will drop prices? I'd probably stock-up then.

I'll check out the Toyo/Nitto sets, thanks guys.

 

I'm not much of a tire tester but I found them to be require a lot of heat for them to be sticky enough for short stints like Autocross. Great wearing Road Race tire though.
