Autocross tires
Autocross tires I used to do alot of autocrossing in the early to mid '90s and think I still have the track record for G stock at Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod 
I was running Yokohammy A008 tires back then but haven't kept up on what people use now. What is the tire of choice for the autocross now?
Thanks!

I see a lot of the Kumho V710's, and I've personally used the street Kumho Ecsta MX's (the MX's arn't a recomendation BTW, they arn't race rubber) which I liked, but I also see some using Hoosiers.
On a side note, what's the widest race rubber you guys would put on a 16x8" rim for autocrossing?

v710's are where everyone seems to be heading now on the bigger cars, myself included

Thanks! I have RR a little and plan on doing it a lot more this year, I have Yokohama AO32's out back and want to put matching tire's out front for better traction... All this talk of the V710's made me curious...

Kind of off topic... but do you know where they do the autocross now? I live next to the Sandwich gate to Otis, and I cant get in there now since 9/11. Whenever I tried to one guy would ask for my ID while the other guy would stand on the other side of the car with a really large gun pointed at me
Road Course tire...
