I've had some time now on my setup... I still need to throw a pic up here (for those who werent at DGRR)... I ran my first auto-x last month with them to. The XS is a really good compound. When they get to temps they stick really well, only down side was after making a pass and then sitting in the grid the tires would cool off fairly quickly again, towards the end of each pass you could tell a difference. After 6 runs, the 7th one starting getting a little greasy, but overall I'm very happy with the setup and the tire.
I think the 245/40 is a good size for a stock-powered 8. Once I get better at driving the car and start to find the limits of the 245s, I'll jump up to a 265... for now though, they do great!
