Thanks for everyone's thoughts, I really appreciate you guys taking your time to answer my particularly silly question. Money is definitely an issue so having a separate set for autox isn't an option and I'm not super competitive but with such an amazing car it is a shame to run on anything that isn't bringing the car's full potential out. Because of the money issue I know that isn't possible so I'm looking for the best 340-300 A tire that wouldn't be too bad autoxing. I know the answer is "there are none" and I get it, you gotta pay to play but what would be the best possible? I already ordered the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's which haven't come in yet but if someone has any bad experience or I find something in my research that says I shouldn't get them then I could still pay the restocking fee and get something else. It looks like everyone likes the new Indy 500's though so I think I made the right choice just haven't seen any autox experience with them. I might actually be the first or at least the first to talk about them.

I will definitely be updating you guys with my experience with whatever tire I end up installing and updates every other week after that so sub to the thread if anyone is curious on the results of my quest to find a medium softness autoxable tire. I might do a video on this for my YouTube channel, JDMricist.

Hi, I'm new here and a new first time owner of a 2012 GS and have been looking at these Firestones really hard. Like you, I have done a lot of research and haven't really seen anything bad about them. How do you like them? Good all around tire? I'm not looking to be a daily driver or exclusive track hound, but a little mix of both. Would probably see track time a couple times in a year, mainly road use in the mountains where weather is always unpredictable. I know I'm really late to the conversation, but I would appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks, Derek.

I also ordered the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 for daily driving and 9 autocross events this year. I can't get them mounted before the event this weekend. April 1st is the next event. I will report back then.

Have a look at the Maxxis VR1. It's a great tire, but not sure if they make the right size.
For something more sticky, check out the RC1. A great tire if available in your size.

Do you use a spacer for the front 18x10.5 wheels?

So how were they for Autocross?

On April 1st I drove a MR2 instead. It rained at the last event, so results would be inaccurate. The next event is Sunday, however, 90% chance of rain, rain predicted for all week here in Florida. So it might be the end of July before I can compete in B Street and give my observations competing in the dry.

Sorry

It's all good, thanks for the update though!
