but, its seems like i am going to try to get some star-specs or Falken azenas(sp?) i want a good tire but, don't need anything to aggressive. maybe even Yokohama S. drives may work...

so far i think i am going to stop partying for awhile and save my money till sept. so i can have fun with you guys
Yokohoma S drives are really awesome tires on the street concernin tread wear and road noise..on the track they are not the best but they can get a 60% of what a proffessional needs so i dont think you should be havin any problems since u r new to the track will be like that for a while but each of his own after all..and remember that our s2k's are picky when it comes to tires esp in rainy weather but s drives do really well in rain..

get the star-specs if you can afford them, they are the most popular and most proven tire out right now. everyone in autocross is loving the star-specs. falkins SUCK and S-drives suck even more. i have had and hate both of those tires. i have kumo escta-SPTs right now and i love them so far. the wet grip for daily driving is amaizing. the car wont break loose in the rain unles i try REALLY hard(its kinda making me mad, i like slidding around in the rain ) but they are cheap too, 90 bucks from tire rack, bang for buck you cant beat it

I wish! Get them with a set of track stockie wheels. That way, they are dedicated for track use only.
