Tires are a crutch for poor driving, which is why I get the best tires I can!

The last track day I did many years ago it rained the whole day. It was a great learning experience. Everything happens at much lower speeds.

Wow! The yellow one is uglier than my black one. I guess I'm lucky to have black.

Thankfully we get a full size wheel as a spare for GCC Spec ISFs

But that does mean more weight
