Well, if you are running in a Class other than CAM, it should be okay, but SCCA has outlawed the A052 for those running in CAM Classes. Those of us who have been in SCCA and NASA for a long time are somewhat use to this type of political change in the area of Tire Wars. If you are using these tires for road course use, or are in a Street Prepared Class ,or other when autocrossing then no worries, but if you planned on running CAM C , for instance, welcome to the fun world of rule changes. NASA did something similar with some classes that rules say can run no bigger tire than a 275 , when they set up a matrix that the tires must fit within. Well Toyos run narrow, and they fit the matrix , but BFGs and Hoosiers were deemed too wide in their 275 width, so guess what tire folks were likely going to have to run ---- Toyos! They happen to be the Series Sponsor, so some folks were a bit miffed, but such it the ebb and flow of amateur sports and it only affected certain classes.
In case this affects you because you Autocross and Road Race, you could check the rules and see if your car has other classes it can run in with the A052s?
