Post Best roadcourse, autoX, drag tires?

Is there a tire that would be a good all around tire for the roadcourse, autocross, and dragstrip for the L? If so, can you give me the brand and approx. price, and the best place to buy them. Thanks. Tom

I almost forgot. Also, where is the best place to get rims to go with the race tires?

Spent a bunch of money and havent found a single tire that goes straight and corners really well. I have seen the F1's go 12's and do pretty good in autocross. The only road course work I did with the f1's was against contours and cobras that couldnt hang anyway.

I have tried the BFG Gforces at the strip and they suck. Sixpipes and I have both used drag radials on the rear at autocross, but they only worked pretty well. The Gforces rock on the autocross and I bet they would do very well on a road course.

I have 10 rims and tires. 4 for F1's, 4 for BFG G forces, and 2 for ET streets.

Yep... what Doug said...

There is street rubber that is much stickier than the F1's (like the Pirelli P-zero's), but its day and night difference with race rubber.
