do you guys run DR's all the way around or only in the back?
alot of autocross cars have them in the front also but i would only reccommend them in the back for street use...
why's that? better traction in the rain with good street tires in the front i'm guessing?

When you are drag racing, they would serve no purpose with having d/r's in the front of the car..
during autocross, the car is going through turns and such where it would need all the grip it can get..

I wouldn't run DR's on the front, but that's just me.

People used to run the 555R up front for autox but Nitto makes the 555r2 now for that purpose. I think they're the same price.

Haha, not really. You want street tires on the front..... With dr's on the front i'd say theres 10x more like to get in a wreck or lose control.
