I dunno much of anything about your car, but if you're in HS, chances are
your current tires suck.  :-)

Go to www.tirerack.com and look for tires in your size.  Good street tires
for autox include:

* BFG G-Force KD (though I'll be amazed if they make a tire for an HS
car's rim)
* Bridgestone Potenza S-02 or S-03
* Pirelli PZero
* Michelin Pilot MXXX3 (I think it is)
* Yokohama AVS Sport
* Yokohama AVS Intermediates
* Kumho Ecsta 712
* Bridgestone Potenza RE-71
* (and probably more)

All those tires will be much better than standard oem or oem replacement
tires on an HS car.

Mark
