I didnt really read through this whole thread, but i cant believe that somone didnt reccoemnd in the first 2 psots that the best thing to dow hen wondering what tirws to run is to head over to the trakc and assk. im willing to bet the majority of the people at your track are running the same tires, and the rest are probably running something very similar that might be a bit cheeper, harder, softer, ect.
