Uh, no. Not on a car with No rear bar, which is not allowed to be added
in stock class.

Don't forget about the Kuhmo tire. Im seeing alot of discussion about
this tire and its all been good including the part where its about as
good as the R1, costs less and lasts longer.. I wouldn't even consider
the AO32. The hoosier is probably the BEST tire available  on the market
for autox use, IMHO. The only major drawback is they wear out much faster
and cost a bit more than the BFG's or Yoko's. If your gonna get Yoko's,
get the A008RSII's if you can find them in your size. I've seen the
AO32's on the course and they are just too hard a compound to be
effective on the autox course. They build up heat too slow to be
effective, IMHO. 

HTH!!
