Cant beat a set of Pilot Sports or Yokohama AD08's for Autocross grip.....but they are at the top of line for price. Read Tire Racks test report on the Sumitomo ZIII. It ranked right up there in their test with the Pilot Sport at half the money. I am a Regional Director for a large Tire Distribution company and former Autocross Competition Director for the Suncoast Porsche club here in Florida. My company locations are direct distributors for Michelin, Continental, Yokohama, Copper and many others. For me, and I can run whatever I want to run, and I have found the Yokohama AD08's to be the best grip for Autocross and DE and the ZIII's are right there with them for a lot less money. My 2 cents.
