for traction I'd run the 215/50/14 BFG radials. kevin(Slo_Si) used to run them on the little black death. It used to hook up pretty good despite running 18psi on a SC63.

thanks guys. where is the least expensive place to get the tires? my car does not go on the drag strip, i want a nice tire that may see a couple of autocrosses at the most.

i run sumitumo htr200 205/60/14. they were relativley inexpensive and have fairly good grip. i got them from the tirerack and on their reviews some people said they autocrossed em and liked em. i think they were like $40 bux a piece so if you dont like em you didn't waste too much! hope that helped.
