Yup. I dunno whether to by my 16"s with RFT's for this event, or get decent track tires put on. I'm definitely not tracking my wheels I only have 1 set

Mattscott · 09-25-2007, 09:35 PM

If I do track my wheels, what will it do to the tread. mess them up pretty bad? My car has 7k miles on it

Use your stock wheels.

Thats what im doing with mine. Just put slicks on the 162's, and switch them out at the track.

Mattscott · 09-25-2007, 09:44 PM

they sell tires out there?

Mattscott · 09-25-2007, 09:48 PM

more importantly, do they have someone out there that can put them on for me when I get there?

Oh shit thats right. Dude, smaller the better tho seriously.

Get some M/T streets you can have marsh mellow tires. Or throw on some ps2's on them. Your turning radius will be better than running 265's in the front. lol

Ya its just a wear and tear thing. Depends on how hard to track them. If your going to drift then ya, youll own the tires pretty good.

What kinda tracking? Auto cross? Drag?
