AutoX tires

[dntower85]

I would try to get the lowest profile tires on as possible, the smaller diameter will help with acceleration.
Does Hosier still make there bias ply Autocrosser tire? (its been over ten years since I bought a set)
Bias ply tires don't need as much camber as radials.

I knew I couldn't go smaller and stay in HS and this car won't compete in otherwise stock form in a modified class.

I was looking into the 17's for a larger contact patch compared to the 16's, but the difference in sidewall height and weight might be more of a detriment than the concat is an advantage.

Seeing that the 17's aren't considered a factory part, I guess it's the 16's for me.

I can get a set of 16's mounted with r-comps and TPMS's delivered for $1271.70. Now I am waiting to hear from Tire Rack about the TPMS and if the car will automatically recognize the new TPMS senders when I swap at the event or am I going to have a buzzer and light on my dash and stability control system that I can't defeat.

Many TPMS sensors have an activation procedure. Here's the procedure for the OEM sensors:
