Ebbs, you'll have the money and you don't need take-offs. Buy some new Pilot Power 2CT's. They heat up quick and they double for an awesome street tire, too. And you're not going to burn through them at your first track day at all. Not even close. You can thank me later.

There SHOULD be a Micheline, Bridgestone, and Dunlop tire reps at the TD

The only good Dunlop and Bridgestone tires are their DOT race tires. Well, the Dunlop Qualifyers are pretty good, too. You should look into those too, Ebbs. But Michelin has a good DOT race tire in the Pilot Race and an excellent street/track tire in the 2CT. The Dunlop 208GP or 209GP is suppose to be tits. I might try it next.

You should be able to save a bit of cash by buying at the track.
