I am about to buy racing wheels and tires to put on my car for autoX. I was wondering how wide should I get my tires. Also, any suggestions on racing wheels and tires that work well? I was thinking along the lines of Rotas or Konig, good choice/bad choice... give me some suggestions.

 

195/35/16 and Falken azenis have great grip however they dont last all that,id recommend a Kuhmo SPT FTW!Has some wet grip too and last a little more.some Rota Circuit 10s are nice

 

Thats funny, i was actually thinking about rota circuts.... I kinda like the jmags and the group n aslo.

 

about the tires tho... they dont have to be street legal b/c I can probly just swap em out on the weekends anyway when I go to the track.

Wow, for someone who can't drive and doesn't own a car, you seem to have some lofty opinions

I would get yourself some 4x100 corrado steelies (15x6) for a lightweight auto-x wheel.

Tires are up to you. Azenis are cheap, and the sidewalls will hold up to some abuse. They burn out fast, but if you're only using them for Auto-X, they'll last at least a season. Bridgestone RE750's (or Fuzion ZRi) are a decent tire too. And of course, the super-stiff g-Force T/A KDW-2 have some gnarly sidewalls.

He would need 205/45 tires

 

question... would 215/35 be too wide?

 

Post this in the Wheel/Tire forum. Those guys are gurus when it comes to tires. They can be a much better help to you than the Civic/Del Sol tech specific guys.

 

35 series for autox? um.

 

i got nitto NT01's here, there holding up just fine.
