winter autocross tire? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

jcr557 · 12-07-2009, 05:22 PM

I'm looking for winter tires, but I also want to use them for autocross. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be specific winter tires, all seasons will do good also. I can buy summer tires later on.

Stock tire size is 205 55 r16 but I've used 215 45 r16.

i would go with 215s falken zeixes 912s great tires tread pattern looks badass as well i had it on my si and my vw

If they have Toyo Proxes 4's in your size I would vote for those, I ran them at last year's winter series and even at the coldest event I was able to get them up to 70 - 80 degrees. They stuck just as good as anything else out there in the cold and dry but they're all seasons so even when we had a bit of snow they still worked. They have a cool lookin tread pattern too

Here is a side by side comparison of all 205/55/16's that TireRack has in All season UHP and also Winter Performance(not "snow" tires exactly, can handle light snow and ice though better than an All Season UHP. They just respond well in cold and don't get hard).

thanks, i've bought tires from tirerack before but they dont offer falken or toyo

i was looking for what people on here have used for autocross and recomend.

looks like the toyo offers the proxes 4 in 215/55R16. might be getting those soon befoere jan 9th.

honda>vwsubydsm · 12-07-2009, 11:16 PM

toyo is good but the falkens last longer i think and let me know if u want them i got a shop where i got them for my si

jcr557 · 12-07-2009, 11:18 PM

I use Kumho Ecsta ASX as my all-season tires I run in the winter for DDing... they are very predictable and feel decent. I was happy with them last winter series... but this year I am switching back to my summer tires unless its uber cold for each event
