need new tires for auto x (stockers, 02 wrx)

Hey guys-


I need some new tires for auto x. They will only be used for auto x. They will be wrapped onto the stock 2002 wrx rims. These are the list of tires I was looking at

dunlop direzzas
hankook rs3
kuhmo ecsta xs

I know the re-11s and the ad08s would probably be a better tire, but I just don't have that kind of money. My concerns with the dunlops is that the only size that will fit onto the stockers is a 205, the 225 needs atleast a 7 inch wide rim (wrx's are 6.5). Now would you guys recommend running the dunlops in a 205 or running one of the other tires in a 225? I know more rubber on the ground is better so I leaning towards the other two, but I have heard such great things about the dunlops. Moreover, I hear the dunlops do run a bit wider so a 205 dunlop direzza would be like a 215 maybe???

Thanks guys

Let me know!!

Have you checked out the Falken Azenis Rt615's. Very good tire for autox and for the money. Otherwise go with the wider 225. Just my 2cents.

If they are only for Auto-X, than buy Kumho 710's not even a contest
