Which tire for autocross AND drag racing?

Any suggestions for a good tire that can be used for mainly autocrossing, but that also provides more grip off the line than Michelin Pilots for an occasional run at the strip? :confused:

Thanks. :flag

Kumho has a newer line out called the ECSTA. They don't come in a 315, only a 335. Their web site does state that it will fit 11" rims. The price is the same. Would you get them or stick to the older Victoracer in the 315 size?

I didn't see a price for the new kuhmo ecsta mx. I'm also looking for a good autocross and occasional drag strip tire. :yesnod: p.s. any more pics of the grand national, big fan of those beasts (especially any engine pics), reminds me of Lord Vader every time I see one of those beauts! :cool:

C4FEVER-

The prices I got off of TireRack/Kumho website place the two lines within a few $ of each other (like $1-2 difference).

My mother calls the Buick "Darth Vader's car!" :) I'll see if I can't scrounge up some more pix as soon as this little hurricane thing gets straightened out. ;)
