When I was actively competing I had dedicated track;/competition tires. That is a more cost effective option for you folk who aren't "retired"
One can't legally take advantage of such a high performance tire. My days of risking my license are over. At my age I no longer have the "cute blond" factor that used to get me out of tickets. Maybe the old lady factor would workThere are advantages of being a woman in a fast car. The amusement factor got me out of a lot of tickets thru the years starting with the Baby blue MGA I had when I was 16. I promised my dad I would be good--he knew better. I remember in my e46 M3 a state trouper said , "You obviously know how to drive but this is completely unacceptable". I agreed and said "i'm sorry" and was told to "go home and don't drive anymore today little lady".My 228 M package has just enough fun factor to keep me entertained but isn't so anti social to get me in trouble.
