Autocross Tire Help
I am seeking recommendations for the best autocross tire for dry conditions that I can drive to the event in a Z06. I'd have to drive on these for up to 100 miles each way to an event in dry conditions. My plan is to put these on a spare set of wheels, and keep my daily drivers on another set. I'd also keep the daily drivers on (F1 Supercars) for running wet weather autocrosses. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Driving 100 miles, you're just going to have to use another set of street tires. Firestone Wide Ovals are good and cheap. Kumho MXs too. Michelin Pilot Sports are some of the best, but damn pricey. I wouldn't drive that far an anything softer. I'm only 30miles from the track, and I use this to get my tires there:

I drive on Kumho V710's 60 miles each way. I get 150 runs, plus about 14 drives on them. Now if that's not for you, I would get Toyo RA1's. If you had them shaved down, they would make a great alternative to the Kumho tires. I drive on these all the time.

Thanks very much for the replies. I'd love to have a trailer so I could get some serious autox tires, but that's even more bucks. I think I may look at some Kumhos for the time being.
