My autocross tire experience is limited to my current set of Star Spec Z1's but I can tell you that most of what you read about them is true. They work well in cool temperatures, don't like being hot (not a huge problem for autocross, since drivers can spray water on them between runs), sidewalls are *very* stiff, and they don't make any squealing noise before they let go into a spin. The ZIIs are supposed to have the same basic characteristics, just a little bit better. More evolutionary than revolutionary, as they say.
If the Evo School is as hard on the tires as I'm expecting, then I'll probably be running a set of shiny new BFG Rivals on the 17th.  |
Good.
It's worth mentioning that I'd use the tires for street with only the occasional autocross event (of course, I say that before even trying my first autocross) as opposed to having dedicated track tires.
