I see I'm a day late and a dollar short, again. Well for anyone else driving as a novice and considering new tires ...

Stick with stock PS2s.

My logic is that they are just about the best street tire you can buy and will hold up very well on the track. They may not have the ultimate grip for all situations, will get a bit greasy if pushed too hard at too high a pressure and are expensive. But if you don't want to change out tires for occasional track days, they can't be beat for an all-around tire.

Keep a couple of things in mind. If you keep the hot pressures below 40 psi, as an amateur, they won't get greasy on you. They wear like iron at the track when tire pressures aren't allowed to get too low (<33 hot) or too high (>44 hot).

Have fun.
