Right now I'm running snow tires on 17" 'sport edition cup 4', 7.5" & 9" wheels.
By summer the dirt on the course is like concrete and I'm planning to run on Nitto NT01 road tires - as recommended by more experienced drivers.
The nationally competitive guys I've talked to buy rally
specialty tires imported from Europe.

The engine sounds really bad now. Hope it's not gone too far, so parts or the whole engine can be rescued. It's getting harder and harder to find good engines and good engine parts.

For me, ferrous metal loose in the oil is 'gone too far'. Yes, it can be rebuilt, but I'd rather buy a used engine or another salvage car to pull an engine from. Reading
Tom Stone's posts got me thinking of engines used for racing as a consumable item like brake pads. There are still plenty of 2.7L engines around here.
