A kumho 710, any Hoosier, shaved RA-1, or NT-01 will eat that tire alive.

They lack grip and that they are basically fast wearing, expensive street tires.

I've heard it from a couple of guys that were running at VIR, and from one of the teams at the Red Line event at Summit.

Kumho Mx or Falkin 615s for a gripy streetable tire. Kumho 710s for dedicated autocross tires.

If you run street tires in SP, don't really expect to do very well. Think of it as training in that class until you're ready to step up to the R compounds.
