We are now having auto cross every other sunday here in vegas and I wanted to know if anyone has used this tire? I have seen the opinions on the falkens and the re010's these yokos are expensive but look to be very sticky any info greatly appriciated!

 

yep.... I would just get Azenis though.. the price isn't my cup of tea

 

What class are you auto-xing in? The Yokos cannot be use in street touring class and I would think the V700/Victoracers would be better choice in stock classes.

Does it get hot a blazes in NV during the summer? Id recommend the Kumho MX over the Azenis if you are running in Street Touring class.

 

They have stiff sidewall and take a while to get a lot of heat into them.

For 60-90 sec autocross courses - you are better off with other tires because you will never get them up to optimum temperature.

 

these are one of the best street legal tires u can get in the market. it is true that it is kind of expensive. so i switch to toyo RA1 around 50 bucks cheaper for a set. almost the same performance. these yoko very sticky and can handle many laps at a time.

 

I use the A032R-S for my track duties, and they take around 3 laps to start performing well. I can't imagine them being extremely sticky during an Auto-x event, mainly because they will never get into a good operating temperature...unless you go drive around for a while right before you go on.

 

If you're just starting out in autocross - or even if you're experienced, but you're not competitive - you can just use your street tires and they'll be fine. You can learn as much with street tires as you can with track tires (R compound) like the A032R.

OTOH, if you are competing in autocross - meaning, that you are experienced and you really care about getting those last few hundredths of a second so that you can win - then you should buy a tire that is designed specifically for the demands of autocross (great traction with little to no warmup required), such as the Hoosier A3S04. And a second set of wheels, if you're also going to drive your car on the street, so that you can use your street tires on the street, and your autocross tires at the autocross.
