If you are a track newbie, no way you even need track tires.

"Racing wheel" not really a thing unless you mean a motorsport wheel. No wheel is only track only, you could take some IMSA wheel and as long as a street tire fits you are good. But I get what you mean.

Just keep going to the track and have fun.

Any summer only tires will work great while you up your skills. Michelin Pilot Super Sports, Pirelli P Zeros, Bridgestone Pole Positions, etc.

No one really needs a track tire unless they are running in the Expert classes at track days. There's always the racehero who shows up in the Novice or even Intermediate class with R88Rs getting passed left and right and cant hit an apex to save their life.

Thank you for the input,
Sorry I did not make my post clear,
I'm still learning English so there might be misunderstanding.
I'm current running Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 with 3 bent zcp wheels.
I'm not born in a rich family so I'm saving every penny I can make to invest into my kabuda.
(When I said "racing wheels", I want to say I will use this set only on track days, and prefer a square set up.)
Not all people have the nature intelligence to become a race car driver,
but it's worth trying.

Definitely don’t need track tires yet. Get use to your current set up. As for wheels, a lot the M guys run apex wheels which in my opinion is great for track use. My current set up is apex sm10 18x10 square +25 wrapped in re71r. If you’re considering, this may be a good set up.

Thank you! sm10 and ec7 are always my favorite. I think I will get EC-7 18x10 satin black square set up.
If you could let me know the tire size, I'm thinking either 265/35/18 or 275/35/18.
Are you running any spacers?

Look for a used set in the for sale threads first. Might get lucky and someone will have a set within driving distance. And great comeback on the racing wiper blades lol. I thought GRUESOM3 had you but you evened up the score.
