      Tires?

      So, since we're limited by a TW of 200...

      Who's running what?

      I've got Sumitomo HRTZ-III's on the car, TW of 300 but have a Traction Rating of AA. Not the bestest tire in the world, but for the price it's not too bad. Tirerack gave them a fairly decent review to.

      255/40R17 on each corner.

      What about you kids?

      Have been running Nitto NT-05s and/or Falken RT-615s for few years. Both good choices. Falkens seem to better in wet conditions though.

      Same tires on mine---except 235/275--I beleive they have a 300 rating.

      Kumho SPT 255/45/17 and 285/40/17 @ 320 TW (can you say knife in a gun fight)

      I was trying to get a set of Nitto NT05's but that crapped out for this event.

      I was no threat to anyone anyway, but I couldn't get the wheels and tires I wanted in time for the event so I will have fun with non-legal Nitto NT-01's 275/40/18 on the front and Nitto 555R 305/45/18 on the back, both 100 TW, as that is what is on the car.

      That said I did run a 10.13 @ 135 at Firebird on Saturday with the track shoes on the car so I may do well in the 0-100 part, not so much elsewhere.

      Just got a set of General Altimax's in 285/70R17's. Very cool tires and they should stick like glue this weekend.
