Help me choose AutoX / DD rubber for my '69

[daniel911T]

I decided to go 205 50 R15 all the way around. There seem to be the best choice of tires in this size, even if they're a bit smaller than stock diameter. Should be a pretty dramatic difference over the 185HR14 stock size!

Now I need a spot of help choosing which one... I'm down to 3(4) choices:

You can only vote one time, but you can vote for more than one option, just in case you can't choose.

1. Yokohama S Drive

2. BFG G Force Super Sport

3. Hanook Ventus V2

(4.) Dunlop Direzza DZ102 (this is the only one that isn't AA traction rated, but it's good and cheap)

Opinions?

You just want a "sporty" tire not a serious tire? If so, my vote is for the S.Drive. I've heard nothing but good things out of those.

If you want something sticky, I vote BFG Rival, Hankook RS3 V2, or Falken RT-615k.

I thought you wanted to win at Autocross. Your choices are all good for daily driving but to win....

Dunlop Direzza II, BFG Rival and Kumho Ecsta XS all come in that size and are not that expensive. They are all drivable on the street although marginal in a thunderstorm and poor in weather well below 50deg.

My car is a long way from winning autocross... Right now I don't even have a rear sway bar!

All these tires will be a huge upgrade over the rock hard 14s I'm running now. I'm thinking of the stickier options, but lower cost will improve the odds of spousal acceptance. ; )

Where is "none of the above"??

BFG Rival, $113 each. Raid the piggy bank, you will not regret it.

+1 We use them on our lemon car. After 15 hours of straight racing they are mostly still good. We wear out the edges with our stock and non adjustable suspension.

All the listed tires are one step down from anything I'd want to track or auto cross.
I'd like to chose between, the Rivals, Direzza 2s, Hancook Rs3
