This is a direct copy and paste from one of my posts on another board...

I would avoid HTR-Z from Sumitomo... They don't seem to scale up on cars with more power.

I'm happy with Kumho Ecsta MX's... Bang for buck it is a good choice. They wear a LOT longer than the falkens which might be good since you are going to do tons of drivers schools (30 runs or so a day) next year! Bridgestone SO-3 Poleposition are very expensive, but available in your sizes and it is a good tire. Falken Azenis you might have size issues, but that is a good tire, a little _more_ than the Kumho, but still a majorly fast tire in autox. And yes, the Hankook Ventus RS2 Z212 is getting a good review, but they are a new tire that has only recently started to get autox use.

I'd stick with one of those 4, based on budget, size availability etc.
Only thing I would add since makign that post is that if you have a heavy car, you want to run a little more air in the HTR-Zs... Like 42 front / 36 rear - or more... They seem to like that.

I'd still stick with the others I mentioned for street tires vs. AutoX...
