First track day done but I think I need better tires

RN SHARK · 06-17-2016, 01:28 PM

You bought a 370Z, are now taking it to the track, so put some real tires on it. RE-11 or RE-71R's are your best choices. Use the search button. As another option I would suggest getting another set of wheels, even if it is another set of stockers, and put better tires on those for your track days.

Just got my re11s and they are badass in the canyons

In the long run wheels and tires are an option but not for a while. Re11 will wear out way too fast as a daily driver and again I'm on stock suspension with stock angles. This car is my daily and will remain so (only plan to track 2-3 over the summers and really all I can afford), just looking for a good compromise I am not racing and don't need to be the fastest just want a more secure feeling than how greasy it felt but it is probably just me needing to learn what is really loose vs what feels loose. Just trying to plan my next set.
