I agree with Joe. I also track, and if you think your tires are holding you back, then you are pushing way to hard or have a bad driving line. I run on street KDW2s, and I can pass people on slicks with more power without any issues. You know why? Because I am a better driver, and know where my limits of the car and tires are and use proper APEX and driving styles.

The stock tires are actually not bad at all for the track. Just learn to drive better.

the pilot a/s's are comparable to the older S03's. they are good tires and stick very well (exceptionally well for a/s tires!).

imho the RE050A's stick better but that's if the tires are warmed up enough. in colder temps i change my wheels with the Pilot Sport a/s's (cold as in sub50F). grips very well down sub-freezing..but in snow... LOL
