I'm just recently getting into auto-x and I have a few questions for you experienced guy. I'm looking at running some "performance street tires" when I start and the first things that people have suggested to me are Kumho Ecsta Mx's and Falken Azeni's. They both seem like good tires, but the Falkens are the only ones which come in the sizes that I want. I was wondering if anyone else has some suggestions.

Secondly, I'm looking at buying a helmet so I don't have to go through the hassel of always having to borrow from someone. This is the first helmet I saw that seemed to be what I wanted http://www.ogracing.com/eshop/itemde...23&showbrake=1
I'm not trying to break the bank on this (I'm just a kid, and I don't have that much cash), but if any of you experienced guys have other suggestions that'd be great.

Thanks a lot for any feedback.
