I have not tried 18", because they mess with the gear ratio's too much, too small a diameter tire. Every alteration causes new issues to deal with, even positive changes can cause unintended consequences. The 19's I ran previously had similar issues with changing shift points and when gears hit the rev limiter.
I hear you. I only AutoX (only thing available) and have 3.73 gearing and have not found the top of second yet at our 35-60 second tight courses so I believe I have some room (gotta do some math). Mostly want the 18's to run the Hoosiers. Only real option in 20's are the R8888, since I don't have the 200 TW restriction.

I assume you do participate in SCCA, just not Autocross/solo?
