Tire Recommendations?

Hi!

I'm looking for recommendations for good tires for everyday and autocross use. I race autox in my 2008 Si and the stock tires are just *not* cutting it. A couple friends who also race use/like the Dunlop Direzza DZ101s... but I'm a little uncertain after reading reviews, which are very mixed (seems to be a love/hate kind of thing -- everyone either says they have great grip in both wet and dry situations, as well as great tread wear or they say they have good grip when dry but horrible handling when wet - which is a big deal as I live in South Florida and it rains all the time - and they wear out waaaay too fast).

Anyone have any suggestions on good tires they use?

Re: Tire Recommendations?

what tires you running now? they do yearly tire tests in the sportscar or grassroots motorsports magazine. also, like said, autoX tires do last around 8k. heck, took a lot of easy driving to keep my old RE01's to last 12k
