Well, i've finally got my yaris out there last sunday. i didn't have any mod's so i ran H-stock, put it in 1st place. was ton's of fun! had lot of people wandering, as they haven't heard of or seen a yaris yet. my time was fast enough to be in some other classes. But as for right now i'll just stick with some sticky tires and run H Stock for now! This is the link to the results. i plan on competeing for PAX this year.

Also, my setup was, Stock 15inch Mini Cooper wheels with Hankook RS-2's. i liked the RS-2 but, i want to get some azenis.

I'll have a DIY/review up later that should peak particular interest for you autocrossers.

Killer Dude . We did the same in our yaris this past weekend . My son got 2nd in Hstock (18th overall ) and I got 7th overall ( 138 cars) in the pro class . If you keep winning you will get protested . We got protested this weekend for larger than stock tires . He lost his protest . I don't think the Yaris will be in Hstock after this season . Enjoy it while you can :) I love to hear the snicker and jeers BEFORE the autox and REALLY LOVE seeing the slackjaw expressions after the first run :):):):) Can't wait to track Coryn (my yaris) . I WILL GET A TOP 5 BEFORE THE END OF 2007 :):):):): I feel it .

yeah, i'm keeping too the rules. largest wheel offered for the yaris is 15x5.5inches, which is what the MINI wheels are. and then the rules state that i can run the largest tire that i can fit. if i get knocked out of H-stock, i'll just go to STS.

The largest wheel offered for the Yaris from Toyota is 18x7 with a 215/35 tread :) Which is why I use a 16x7 with a 205/45 tread :)

well as an aftersale option, yes. Rules state it has to be from-the-factory-option. So technically the yaris sedan S has factory 15x5.5 wheels. now that i have the wheels, i've got to play around with tire sizes to see what's best. I also need a tach/shift light.

In HS you can run the Kumho V710 or V700, go with the Dot R tires and shave off a couple seconds for your runs!

yes your right. i am allowed to do that. but i've agreed not to do that with the others in my class. We have some very close racing, and lot of fun. if i were to go to slicks, i would have massive advantage and loose the fun. kinda like playing Gran turismo, racing on a track with cars that are on street tires and you have slicks. Besides there is always STS.

Good for you! I love to see sportsmanship and that is really what SCCA is all about.

Our first points race was yesterday 3.25.07 looks like I was second place in STS behind a Acura RSX Type S by .511 <ratz> it was a long course this time and the HP advantage beat me coming back up the course against a 25mph headwind LOL

i've noticed your thread, how come you don't run a more aggresive street tyre? like the hankook rs2's or even the Azenis?

My SSR's which weigh 11lbs each are 16 x 6.5's limiting tire choice. So in the Dunlops i am running 205/50/16, the RTs come in
225/50R16
215/45R16
205/40R16
which only the first one comes close to fitting my my wheels.
Have some Hankooks on the truck hate them. I know that should not sway me but it does. Perhaps before regionals I might try the Falkens in 225/50/ and see what difference it makes.
Gosh I miss my Dot R's in HS LOL

well the hankooks kick butt when there is standing water! but i'm picking up some azenis for the next event.
how do your current tires compare to others you've had in the past?

well like i said i have ran H-Stock the last several years on Kumho V700 and 710, so cannot really compare. I got these from Tire Rack based on their recommendation. They said not to drive these on the street cuz they would just disentegrate being as soft as they are. Granted my Mazda came with Dunlop SP5000 they were not bad for street/summer, sucked for water and snow though. So i will tell you how they do after a couple more solo's.
