I def wouldn't buy r tires if you're just looking to get into autoxing. I've been autoxing for 3 years in SM, and still don't have r tires. Def makes you a better driver. IMHO. I lost to a 3000GT VR-4 by .14 sec on Sun, even though he's running 400+hp and 255 victoracers, and beat an old civic hatch with a B18c? and V700's by about .17sec. I was also the only one in the top 10 fastest times of the day on street tires.
