Auto X season is coming up
Time to start shopping for new tires. Whats the latest and greatest you guys have on your cars for these events? I’m thinking about going with a set of Hoosier A6’s but I heard they are horrible if its wet out.

Well, any R-comp autocross slick is going to suck in the wet. That's why they make Hoosier Wets. 
A lot of people run a UHPAS tire as their daily tire, and use them as a backup to the A6 or other R-comp slick if it is wet out as opposed to bringing 8 extra wheels and tires to an event.
I'm going to run on street tires (Azenis RT-615k) again this year. It ensures I'm slow, but working with budgetary issues at the moment.
