Default GS autocross tires

using the Grand sport 18x9.5 & 19x12 wheels.....what is the best autocross tire that meets the min 200 TW criteria ?

PS: other than GY F1 (TW 220) , ive found the continental contact force (TW 200) is made in the correct sizes

I’m using the Yokohama A052’s. But the rears are on 18’s. I have a set of 18x12 wheels to fit the rear tires. I think a lot of people do that. BFG’s also come sizes with 18x9.5 front and 18x12 rear. SCCA allows +/- 1” in rim diameter, so this would still be legal in AS.

like cpt said you will prob have to run a different set of rims. the rt660 or a052 come in a max width of 315. on a 12 wide rim the tire will prob be stretched a bit.
