285 front tire will help a lot! I am still grinning from my last event in November. I can within .5 sec(index time) from winning. Not too bad since I have only entered 12 events. Lost to an instructor. Not too bad of a day.
My 19 inch rear Konig rim is less than 24lbs and the front is about 19. I was very suprised on how noticable that was compared to street set up. A6 Hoosiers are really light too. Great combo and the tires feels just like a post-it-note. Now that is tacky.
I am still learning and nowhere near as good as Keith or Bryan but I did place 5th overall(not just D Stock) in my local club for the season. This was against many instructors and some dedicated autocross cars. Crossfires with good tires can be quite competitive.
Let em know what you need.
