Default Autocross Tire buying help needed ASAP!
I am looking for a good set of tires and have ruled out the Nittos. So I'm left with Falken, Dunlop, Hankook or BFG Rivals but I can't find a set of any of the above in the following sizes.

front 275/40r18
rear 335/30r18

Hankook R-S3s are my first choice with Dunlop ZIIs, BFG Rivals or Falken Azenis next. Any other suggestions on a good autocrossing tire in the above sizes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rivals are out of stock at most places. The new Rival S is supposed to be announced soon. Falken combo is only available in 275 / 315 and I am not sure on the Z11s nor the RS3s in your sizes. Go to tirerack.com and search tires by size. Pretty sure they carry all of them but the Falkens.

Then again, you could just buy r888s or Hoosiers in any size and call it a day...

Glad to see your coming around Ron. Hoosiers are the way to go and A6's for auto-x is what you want. (Although I've heard Hoosier has a new design available).
Stay away from R888's. They are junk. Nitto NT-01's are another good option.

Never expected tire choice to be so limited after all the work I've put into the car. I really don't want to pair crappy shoes with my new suit.
