The car won't see the street and it won't see autox, at least for now. Only track time. Doesn't matter that I raced karts at the big tracks for years, I still have to do driver's ed. So, for the first set, I'm looking for economy while I go out and get some seat time. No times are taken while instructor is in car, no need for the latest compound.

I have room for 225/50/15 on the rear and the usual 205/50/15 on front. Should I just get 205s all aound for now? What is the econo race tire to just burn up lapping? Needs to be DOT, of course. No one is gonna let a newbie out on slicks. Whatcha y'all run? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
