tires?

hey just wondering what you guys would recommend for a good auto-x/daily driving tire. im rollin on 245/50/16 daytona zrs right now and they arent very grippy for auto-x.

In the last auto-x i came in 8th of 20 in novice class and im hoping to move up in tire grip since everyone that beat me is light: either an integra or miata.

so since i cant afford race rubber what would be a good brand?

thx in advance

I had a set of these on one of my old Camaros and they were pretty good as far as grip goes.

BFGoodrich G-Force KDW 245-50-16 Z Rated, 38925 - Set of 4: $629.0

Yokohama were the second Tire I would recommend. I Could not remember the name before. They are very expensive. Same tires they use on the Corvettes,so it may be tough to find a size to fit your rims. These are said to be the best but I have never tried them. Too much cash to spend on tire smoke for me.
