Well what are you going to use the tires for? Autocross? Road racing? Drag racing?

CivicSi, what tires are you currently running? When I wear my Kumho 711's down I'm sure by the summer, I'm planning on going with some Azeinas for my road racing and auto-x not to mention daily driving needs. I was actually considering the Advan A032R's, but then I was informed they are a very soft tire and thus will wear out quite fast. I know a friend who just dropped $750 for a set of Advan DNA GP's, but that's not a justifiable cost for tires for me as nice as they are.
 What tire has been the one you'd recommend most with your experience?

I run 205/50x15 Azenis fir competition and used to run 210/40x16" kumho 712s on the street.
The A032Rs have a tread wear rating of around 80. Thats's about 8000 miles. It depends on what you want to do this year and what class you usually run.

Whoa, that's some weak rating for the A032R's.
 This year I'm gonna be running in STS once again, as I haven't modded anything except for adding a B&M CommandFlo FPR unit to my car. Not sure if that bumps me a class or not... But yeah, other that STS in Solo2, and nor mal daily street driving, and weekend mountain carving, that's about all I'll be doing.

UPDATE: I was just surfing Tire Rack's site with one of my friend's, and now I'm kinda liking the Yokahama AVS ES100's. They seem like decent tires, and have great ratings.
Yokahama AVS ES100 vs. Kumho Ecsta 711 which is what I currently have on my car right now, as well as Solo2 on/with Unfortunately Tire Rack doesn't carry Falken, so I couldn't get similar charts/comparisons on the Azenia Sports.

I think your fuel pressure riser is fine cause you are allowed to modify the electrical signal for fuel pressure OR timing by means of electrical or mechanical means.

And for tires, I'm pretty swayed towards the ES100's now. They seem like great tires from what I'm reading, they get high owner marks, and have a cool looking tread pattern and seem to be good handling in wet traction conditions as well. I just hope it'll serve my needs well for Solo2/auto-x Seems like it should though.
