Hey guys,
Looking for some advice regarding tire selection for my first HPDE coming up this June. I've done a handful of autocrosses, on my Street setup (bbs RZ rims with rt-615s). In the last year I've picked up a set of track wheels (D force) that I will use for the upcoming HPDE at infineon.
I've heard some people say not to use R comps as a track newbie as it will teach bad habits. On the other hand, I've got a set of street-ish tires already, so why not go with the R Comps on the track set, right? In any case, I've got a line on some used RA-1s or R888s or equivalent... will likely be cheaper than the brand new Hankooks.
Please help talk some sense into me. Thanks.
