AutoX tires

Autox season is around the corner .Can anyone recommend R compound tires that will fit my stock 18"rims on my 997,I am looking at Nitto nt1 and the Toyo R1R but none of them have exact siezes.

Pilot Sport Cups or Yokohama Advan A048 in 235/40 and 285/30 are about all I see that will work the best. The Yokos are a bit stickier and heat up faster. Both will have to be pre-heated for the best auto cross run.

Sport Cups for Auto-X?????? I dont like that idea, they take WAY too long to heat up for an Auto-X. I would say Hoosier A6 or the NT-01, though with the Nitto's you'll probably have to go with 335's in the rear.

I agree they are not the best, but the sizing is a challenge to get a softer compound in.

245/35 18 and 285/30 are the closest you will do in Hoosier A6.

It looks like the Kumho website shows V710s available in the 245/35R18 sizing.
Would those be too wide for the front?

For the rears:
285/30R18
305/30R18
