Default Best Auto-X tire (survey type of post)

Our typical course is from 30-50seconds long..it's in Florida.

I'm driving a '01 A4 TQM on 17x8" wheels. the Kumho V710 isn't available in 225/45/17 so I'll leave that out.

Between the Hoosier A6, and Avon Tech R-A, which gives the better results? I"m hoping the Avon performs decently, as budget is a concern here.

Hoosier is the best..but the most expensive too.

Default looking at Nationals results, I believe the A6 is second only to the 710

and everything else in the R-Comp world is a distant 3rd.

does the 710 come in a 235?

710's won't work for any of the sizes I'd look at. I"ve been eyeing Avon Tech R-A's
