If they are performance orianted a 205/55/15 would be good. But for high sped drifts a stiffer sidewall would be required.

Jonas-
Sup, Meredith's brother. The Toyo T1-s is by far one of the best tires out there. For grip wise up front and in the back. I am just now being able to break my tires loose in the back between shifts and thats with 500+rwhp...If you need a set lemme know. I deal directly with them.

nice thanks for the offer, well i would only use them up front on drift days, and i might start putting out some cash and get some better performance tires in the rear... i might try t1s all around for one of the auto x... ill have to get them in 15's for now though...

they may be great tires but for autocross RA1 is a little bit better. T1S is awesome, and light weight, an excellent street tire, not the best, but great nevertheless.
