I need  to replace my tires.  I was generally pleased with Yoko Avid T4s in

in favor of increased performance (I like to autocross  occasionally) and I 
never drive in the rain or snow. I've got wire  wheels,


 
 
hmmm
I dunno Joe, but autocrossing wire wheels on anything stickier than Avid  T4s 
sounds like you risk transfering more cornering force thru those wheels than  
your spokes can stand.
I know people actually raced on wire wheels at one time, but tire  technology 
has come a long way since them. 
But, I've never had wire wheels, so I'd love see a post from anyone who  
actually knows if this might be a risky thing to do.
