- Has anyone seen this kind of problem on a street tire used for autocross? The tires have 3200 total miles, about 15 3-run autocrosses (8 at GGF, 3 at Oakland Col., 3 at Candlestick, 1 at Alameda ). T

- Another data point: I ran my old car (BMW) with Michelin Pilot SX MXX3 N2 tires for about 30 events, the majority at GGF, with no problems and about 1/2 tread wear. These tires were more heavily load

- The MXX3's have a 140 rating, the Conti's are 280! I agree with Boris that 205/50-17 is much too narrow and causes understeer, but they still have less load on them (given the lighter front end on th
