F56 autocross tyres?

Decided I'm going to try autocrossing my SE in GS street stock. I'm stuck with 6.5" wide wheels as mine is a base. What tyres would people recommend on 16x6.5 rims? I'll have a dedicated set of autocross wheels after getting my feet wet.

A052? 195/50, 205/50? Something else?

Yokohama A052 or Bridgestone RE71RS in 225/55/16 would be my purchase, both top tier autocross tires for Street class. The Bridgestone might be a little more durable for bang for your buck.

If for some reason that much tire concerns you or you want to save a few bucks both come in a 205/55 as well.

I’m assuming the oe diameter is 24.7” like it is on the S model.
