Although the RSR in 200UTG would be perfect, what's the rumor on that release?

I was thinking of the 240UTG EVO and SS 595s. At half the price of RS3s they're very attractive...

When I cooked my RS3s I was running fun run after fun run without a cool down, they got greasy, I did some spinning... I basically was abusing them pretty badly. I'm pretty new at this and was pushing hard. I will be watering from now on when I get some new rubber.

So in my search for reasonably priced autox tires, I came across Federal tires. Anyone have experience with these, specifically in comparison to hankook rs3? Looking at the 595 and the 595 EVO. Also thinking about mounting 195/45/15 on 6" BBS instead of 195/50/15 to help with some acceleration....

I'd be more worried about 225 in back with stock roll bar and 195 in front with racing beat... Would be worried I'd created an understeer monster! Might be interesting to try...

Duane thanks for the reply! I'm running 15x6 BBS, so a 225 might be a little much, and since I'm ES my rear has more roll than my front, so I think I would end up pushing all over the place with 225s on the back. Tempting though, I wonder if it would work?

Looking for size 195/50/15, I didn't water my tires last event and over heated the shoulders.

2 are shredded and am looking for cheap (and currently avail) replacements, so I can get back at it, with a water sprayer.

Thanks!

Thanks Leonard, I was worried about that with the Konis. What do you run on your car?

I guess I'll be switching back to rubber hoses soon.

Howdy, ran my first autocross with cal club at the last el toro event, and have some classing questions going forward (second in ES to Leonard within S2 class, not bad for first SCCA :) I have a 1995 miata m package (currently 'Merlot' with age color, soon to be primer grey), with koni sports, hanko...

It's great seeing others runs to tell where I could be faster.

This is my two fastest:

And two that ended up un timed, but have some good almost spins...

Leonard I never tried the left slalom line but I guess it worked for you!
