What are the Autocrossers rollin' on this year??
Alright, well I just ordered a set of 225/50/16 Falken Azenis RT-615's from the cheapest place I have ever found them!!!
Discounttire.com has then on back order for $124/each and shipping from the Utah warehouse to Raleigh, NC is $79 edgeracing.com has them for $103 and shipping from Miami, FL to Raleigh, NC is only $40 I was thinking about trying out the Bridgestone RE-01's since I'd heard great things about them. But they were another $32 each more expensive and I just couldn't justify moving up from Azenis at the moment. If I did I'd go for a set of Avon Tech R's... Those might be my next set though... Hoping these Azenis will last for atleast 10 Autocrosses  ~ Chris

Chris,
The 615s should be fine, just keep an eye on their temperature. They tend to get slippery if you overheat them. Talk to local folks that run them to see how hot they let them get. You'll probably want to go out and get a sprayer and fill it with ice water, especially as the days get hotter. -Bill p.s. don't the 615s come in a 245/45-16 size?

... I figured that I'd atleast burn through these for 10 or so Autocrosses and then see if a set of Avon Tech R's is in my future after that ~ Chris

I am pimping 2 sets, Toyo RA-1 and Kumho V710, on my grocery getter wagon.

Hooiser 22.5x10x16 bias plys. Ditto on the sprayer. I could cook my azenis 215s in 2 runs with the xt6. Harbor freight has a decent jack for a nice price on sale ($79.99) for an aluminum. It isn't great but comparable to most $150ish aluminum jacks out there.
The azenis are a decent tire to drive to the event too. Mine were about good for 20 events. As most can attest to buy cheap tires to start as you become more experienced better tires are nice plus you didn't flat spot them while learning.  Check out vulcan tire too for pricing.
