I am running PS2's and I like them for all around driving and Auto-X/track days. In Zone 8 (which I think you are) you can still run S/S class with PS2's or Advans. All the guys faster than me in street stock are on Advans .

Toyo RA-1's are a great track tire (my brother runs them in 944 Spec class), a good street tire but will bump you to Stock class from Street stock. They do work in the rain but I think the Advans are better when it gets wet.

Tires are always a compromise.

Good point Topless on bumping of class. I'll probably stick with Advan for now. Eventually, I may add strut tower bar braces, B&M short shifter, and bilstein suspension mods, but for now I am happy in street stock. Being from southern cal do you ever make it out to Phoenix for autoX/DE events?

I have never run in AZ but I have another brother who lives in north Phoenix who wants me to come out and bring my car. Maybe in the spring.
