First track day done but I think I need better tires

Ok well thanks for all the feedback guys, it give me a lot to think about and I really appreciate the concern for my safety and understand where your coming from and do believe in being safe (that's why I did all the brake and cooling work before going). Looks like I will get another set of wheels and tires but in the more imediate future I will drop the a/s tires and get a max performance since I drive low mi anyway and that should suit me for a few track days as well as I am not one that believes in pushing it to my limits, I stay safer and steadily progress (been dh riding for over 20 years and haven't broken anything knock on wood. Still not the fastest guy but not the slowest either and don't have all the injuries the fastest guy has). So just knowing my limits and staying within them as I get more comfortable I will steadily get faster and smother and at that point may require some more mods but I still have a long ways to go before I even come close to pushing what I haves limits.

Thanks again community.
