I use Hoosier R7's. 225/50 in front and 275/50 in rear. They work great
for racing and so far have no complaints at all and are turning very
competitive lap times.
Presently, you won't be able to buy Avon's due to supply issues ...at least
we can't. Roger Krause says they hard to get and he is only supplying his
best customers.
The R7's are much cheaper, last forever with little lap time def, and are
easy to get.
Anyway, that's what we use.
