Default 15" Auto-cross tires???????

Are there any auto-cross worthy tires in 15" diameter? My current set up is 26x10-15 Mickey Thompson SR Radials, front and 28x12-15 rear. Looking for a tire that i can use on the track and drive on the street as well. Thanks in advance.

How do the MT SRs hold up to autocross work? I take it not great since your looking for an alternative.

Maxxis Marauder is a dedicated street tire that is availabelin a wide variety of sizes, is H rated, and has a tread design like the Gaterbacks of old. Not sure about their level of grip, but they are an LT rated tires so they may have more sidewall resistance than the Mickeys.

Hoosier does have a number of sizes from 205 to 275 in the A6 and R6 compounds that are d.o.t. approved, but they do not recommend them as a "street" tire. You also can choose between bias ply and radial designs with Hoosier.

Avon does offer some wide (225 - 295) d.o.t. approved VR tires that are also thinly veiled street tires for racing as well. This would likely be similar to the Hoosiers in that they have a d.o.t. stamp but are not considered regular street tires. They are a bit spendy at around $350 each, but they are wide and sticky.
