    continental will last a while, aspec's will delam fast(10 seconds on the brake and there flying apart) will last 4 mins on the brake in that state, or several weeks of harsh driving (locker)

    I'd give the kenda komets a good go, was using them on my 4ac monster (standard) and doing like 90-100km entries + 1 hour skid sessions in the wet and they lasted me a good 5-6 nights I'd say, I seemed to be able to go through other tyres pretty thoroughly in just 1 or 2 outings.

    Oh also, they made it all the way to canvas pretty much without delaming.

    What's the budget? I just had Federal 595's fitted which are fantastic and cheap at $112 for 205/60/13, but I assume you sill want 185's which they also do.
