As the title says, i compete in SCCA once a month and drive the car usually everyday. What tires would you recommend for my type of driving. Right now I have Goodyear Eagle GS-C on.

Any thing you get will be better than the Gsc's, Nitto has a new radial called the 555R2, it's like a drag radial but for autocross and roadracing, you might want to check it out

I'm running BFG G-Force KDW's on my SHO. Since I've stiffened the rear sway-bar, they are starting to howl a bit in hard corners, but otherwise they have worked well for me. Very good rain traction, decent ride, best dry cornering traction I've had yet in a 3-season street tire.

Nitto needs to get their butts in gear to make more sizes of the 555R2 so it becomes legal for SCCA autocross.

Hoosier R3S03.... as long as you live in a dry climate LOL

If you can still get the V700 Kumhos they are a good daily driver choice if you don't contend with that much rain.

DR555R2 is another good tire, a lot better in the rain than the V700.
