Not only have tires gotten more expensive, but if you used to run wide 17" tires you are basically hosed. It's nearly impossible to find a 17" tire wider than 255. You need to move up to at least a 18" wheel.

So......a long long time ago I spent a bunch of time here. And then I didn’t (long story)
Well I’m pretty much set on the idea I’m going to be autocrossing a 4th gen again.
So what has changed?
Some things I’ve found already:
Tires are drastically more expensive
Available “good” r compound options are even more limited
Street prepared has some allowances I would have liked to have way back when
The “newer cars” have taken over ESP
Wheels have gone up in price. I think I only paid $400-450/wheel for CCW’s
CAM C looks like a class that I’d probably run in “most” of the time just for the participation.
What else has changed in 10 years LOL
