Odd ? about track days & overcoming cornering fears

[Allan]

I would consider those if they made the 345/30-19. Other cars I see running the R888's seem to do very well.

Street tires, an air pressure gauge, a pyrometer, a stopwatch and a permanent notebook are the most fundamental tools of the go-fast business. When you can consistently do power-on 4 wheel drifts in 3rd and 4th gear corners with all 4 tires groaning in unison, you will be ready for "stickies". Some of the fastest Viper Days / Viper Cup drivers have come out of the stock and super stock classes on Michelin tires. I will heartily echo the advice to NOT lift abrubtly in the middle of a turn. Smoooooth throttle control and steering inputs are keys to quickness.
