I have been Autocrossing my HS Mini Cooper for awhile now and just attended a track day at Putnam Park in Indiana. I need some race tires now! I was wondering what the best tire size was and whats the biggest that will fit. I plan on using the stock 15 inch wheels because a set of aftermarket wheels will be my "street" wheels. Thanks for your input!

Long wear - Kumho Victoracers 205/50/15
super sticky - Kumho V710 205/50/15 (your tire installer will hate you)

v710 is one of several good choices

note the v710 has been recalled,
but the next batch should be OK.
