Oh and its nuts they would put you in AM. I figure every club would let stock super cars in ASP starting out.

There really aren't many 997 turbos competing nationally, but most everyone in ASP runs Hoosier tires. Not sure the are necessarily the best, but all the good drivers like to win with them because the can get free tires with the contingency from Hoosier. The A6s certainly seem to be the stickiest tires you can get, but they don't exactly last long. R6s or Kuhmos may be a better choice.

Previously I was running my 1999 C4 with tires down to the cords practically and he was often a second faster or I might still take FTD occasionally or get beat by another driver in a hopped up neon with all sorts of tuning - depending on the course and the day.
Thanks for the info on the tires. I might just get some hoosiers and put em on my winter rims so I don't have to put so much wear on the potenzas I have on now. Or I might just run the potenzas and next set of rubber will be back to Michelin PS2's.
Also didn't mean to hijack the thread - thanks guys!

Can't speak for 997.2TT, but the 996TT in our region runs PS2s in ASP. He and his son have a lot of fun, but aren't highly competitive drivers. The AWD helps put power down while on street tires, but you really need r-comps to take full advantage of all that power.
Hoosier A6 is pretty much the spec tire, and the tire of choice for virtually everyone at nationals in stock and street prepared. You can't beat it right now for speed. 50 runs per set is typical, but YMMV. I think it would be easy to assume if you drive a 997.2TT you can afford a few sets of A6s each year, but if not, Kumho V710s are a few tenths slower and take longer to warm up, but last about 3 times longer, and are a very popular alternate. (I'm running V710s this year.) Most of the other R-comps out there are more for track use and take too long to warm up for autocross (R6, R888, etc).
