New tire recommendations?

I could swear I've asked something like this before but I can't find the other thread. Ok, so my rear tires are pretty much nearing the end of their service to me, and I'd like to get some 245/55 tires to slap on these old rims. What I'm looking for is something that will lower the chance of slippage/spinning in autocross racing...and maybe a few stop light races :frown:, but something that won't cost me a bundle(like the eagle f1s), and won't wear out after 100 miles like a slick. Oh and I was looking at some Falken ziex 245/55/ZR16 tires...atleast I think thats what they were, but yea I was looking at getting some of those as my friend can get me a discount on some brands at the place he works, has anyone heard anything terrible about these?

i was gonna get those same falkens when i get my new rims. i havent really heard a lot about them, but they seem pretty good. on vulcan tire.com, they were rated #1 by a consumer magazine, and they're only about $105 a piece for 18".

I run toyo proxies

my eagle F1's are nice... they just don't last long

I hate F1's.

I loved my Kumho Ecsta MX's. But they wear fast. Great on the road courses though.

Try mine.....look in my sig.
There good price and can compete with the ecsta's.
Real good tires.

since we are on the tire topic, i had a quick question, will a 275 fit on a stock 92 camaro rim? if so i can not find any tires that size for a 15' rim.

I think they might....but I wouldnt recomend it......
11 inch tire on a 8 inch wheel???????
I dont think so though.

what is the biggest that will fit on there? my 215's that i have now?

My stock wheels are 17x9. I wouldn't go any wider than a 285 on them, and even that is pushing it.
Went to a 17x11 to fit the 315's.

Should help a little to at least give you a decent idea.

I don't EVER recommend going much wider than stock tires on the stock wheels. Unsafe.

the widest that is suppossed to go on an 8" rim is 245. i wouldn't go past that

Someone was telling me that autocrossing on all season tires(even performance ones) would cause chunking and such...should I be looking into expensive summer tires for autocrossing?:( Also...what would the ride of my car feel like with 235/55 on the front and 245/50 on the rear of my car?
