I'm not buying anything soon, but i was looking around at whats out there.
I found this strange tire a while back and thought it might be good for autoX or a soloII style event. The thing about these tires are they seem to be a pretty good deal. What other tire can you get thats this cheap thats a race tire?
Check it out: They want $125 a tire.

I just happen to have 17x8" wheels!

 

Let us know how it works out.

 

I'd buy someone's used race tires before buying those. If it's strictly a money issue just use a good high performance street tire like the Kumho MX, they're even cheaper.
