Generally if you are racing - talk to guys at the track you race at to see what is the best (or legal) tires for the class you wish to race. ie: Some tracks require certain types or brands of tires like the US VTA (Vintage Trans Am) which requires specific tires, with a short list of legal wheels. Where other places require a non-dish type wheel w/ premounted tires.

If you are just parking lot bashing w/ friends - I'd suggest some of the Pre-Mount (Set of 4) sets. There are several types/brands available at a really good price.

Something like these - http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...=Product-Feeds

No formal racing just bash racing with buddies. Maybe we just don't look in the correct place but it seems that finding various companies tire data is elusive. Each company uses their own number/lettering system and often times little description is given.
