Tire Suggestions
I just put a set of IROCs on my RS today, swapped the sway bars as well. Turns awesome, I currently have 245/50/16 tires, they need to be replaced soon. I'd like to make the car take corners better, and I'm working on getting all the components needed to do so. So, what would you guys suggest for tires that are good for everyday use, as well as the taking the car to the local auto-x course?
EDIT: If it makes a difference, I haven't gotten my 350 TPI swap done yet, still have the V6 in the car.
2nd EDIT: One last question while I'm thinking about it, if I installed a 4th gen rear, how does that affect the fitment of my IROCs?

Re: Tire Suggestions
If you like the current set of wheels, then forget the 4th gen rear. Sell it, and find a '90-'92 rear, if you must swap the rear.
For 245/50R16 choices, try www.tirerack.com, then search tires by size.

Re: Tire Suggestions
Road racing seldom destroys a rear end. Maybe the limited slip unit but that can be replaced.

Re: Tire Suggestions
A lot if it depends on - a) if your manual or auto and b) how you drive the car. Power output doesn't affect the life of the diff as much as one would think, its just that a ten bolt has less room for error than say a 9".
