Question Best Tires For Solo II?

what is the best tire i could get for the factory wheels for autocross/AutoX/Solo II????
ive got the EX with 15s.
in solo II its basicly just alot of quick turning, not so much top speed, tho i would want them for daily driving too. since i want em for daily driving i should prob get wet/dry/all season tires
thanks!

Maybe Kumho 712's if you want them for everyday tires too. Some people do well with Falcon Azenis, but I'm not sure if they make 15's.

I would say Falken Azenis Sports, but not if you're gonna daily drive. Hmm... There has to be some sort of performance 15 out there... I can't remember if Bridgestone makes 15" Potenza RE950s, if they do, that would be the way to go.

I depends on whitch class you want to be in.

If your stock, i recomend Victoracers or the V700's. both made by Kuhmo.

If you run STS like me, you cant use those tires, as they are to soft for the class. In STS The majority of last years top drivers were on Falken Azenis. the rest were running Michlin Pilot Sports.

I think Victoraces would take you out of stock, wouldn't they? Besides you shouldn't even think about using Victoraces as daily tires.

Stock allows for any DOT legal tire. You can change wheels too as long as the New wheel is The same size as the Stock wheel or factory optional wheel, offset within +- 0.25 inch.
So the Victoracers are perfictly Legal. If You really want to get serious about autocross Get a second set of wheels! and Brandon is right, you wouldnt want to run them on the street. though it would be really fun for about 5,000 miles.

I use Azenis on my car for Solo 2. I love them, but I only use them for Solo.
