I have used many. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ( $$$ )
Falken Azenis-YokoA032r-Hoosier A3s04 and R3s03-Kumho710's. I like the 710's the best. Mine are not sticking on the a/x track like when they were new. Too many heat cycles. I need to keep one set for a/x and another for the track. Hoosiers are on closeout sale right now, I have a pair of two hour old Yok A048's and Toyo RA-1's are another good choice. What seems to work for you? Slicks are always an option, too. KT |

If that is the tire you are comfortable with then I would go with them. But then again I think you will learn more about your car's dynamics on the track on a less extreme DOT R tire.
Kumho Victoracers or even the Toyo RA1s would be more along your current learning curve. The 710s will cover up some driving issues the other tires might not. You will learn more on a less agressive tire. I would stay with a DOT R but not the most aggressive like the 710s or some of the Hoosiers. Just my take on the learning curve of students.
