Message relatively well, I wasn't that impressed with them for an autox. There isn't enough lap time to get them heated up for maximum grip IMHO. Look at an autox Hoosier, and be sure that your suspension is set-up for aggressive autoxing, otherwise you'll wear down the outside of your tires in just a few autoxs, but the insides will still look new. VR's are great for road courses, but not so great for autox. I've always used 9.5 or 10" rear and 9 or 9.5" front, but another local z-owner (who does a lot of this sort of driving) swears on running 17x9.5 all around with 275's at all corners... i just may try that next time around... with the 17" wheel, you have to battle more tire/rim weight versus your current 16s, but if you are going to upgrade brakes soon, might as well get light 17s for tracking..
