on my old car I ran a set of Azenis for Summer and then went back to the inexpensive Kuhmo Supra's. The Supra's are adequate for street but absoulutely horrible for Autocross. Sidewalls way to soft, but a nice ride.
I have to change my worn out Conti rears now, I'm leaning towards the Pilot Sports.

I didn't read all the fine print of this thread but I second what Perfectlap says. Regular tires will get chewed up quicker than usual if you autocross a lot. You can find an old set of 17" OEM wheels (cheaper tires and usually lighter weight) for around $500 and throw some cheaper track tires on for $500 (Falken RT-615's come to mind). This will protect your $1000 set of everyday tires and in the end you can sell the wheels (and whats left of the tires) and regain some of what you spent.
