So I ordered some Apex EC-7's in 18 x 8.5 et35 during the group buy. Don't have them yet...

Looking to drive 90% street (daily driver) with occasional autocross, like 4-6 events per season. Not super serious but I am competitive in the sense that I want as much performance as I can get. Wanted RE-71R's in 245 width...

Can't get RE-71R's in 245's which was what I would prefer. All tires in the 245 width are R compound, which I do not want.

Options

#1 RE-71R in a 235 width (wanted to go wider)

#2 Michelin pilot sport 4s in 245's (benefit of the width I am looking for, great all around summer tire, give up some performance/grip and durability in autocross).

Any opinions or suggestions welcome!

Also plan was to keep as stock as possible. Not looking for coil overs etc. Might get camber plates (if needed) and call it good. Was hoping 245's coexisted under my wheel arches without any trouble.
