I'd recomment Dunlop Direzza DZ101s... priced decently and great grip.... That's what I've been using on my s2k and have been really impressed with them.

Has anyone ever tried out Hercules Raptis WR1 tires? I know they are W speed rated rather that Z, but my buddy can get me those tires dirt cheap. Opinions?

Everything I found said the old and new were virtually identical, except in wet performance. The new compound works better in the wet.

Cost me $130 a tire, mounted and balanced!

I know there are stickier tires for the track & autocross, but some of us have to drive it every day.

Balance, grasshopper. lol.

Seriously, check out the test reports on Tire Rack on them.

^^^this x999.9 and the national level autox guys LOVE them for wets
