Is there a reason why it is called Heel toe instead of toe and pinky on this car. I felt like, maybe its just my shoes having a chubbier front, I am using more of the pinky are to blip then my heel.

but yes, for most cars it ends up being a rolling motion between the left and right side of the finger end..

Yeah, "heel toe" is just the original term used to describe using your right foot for both brake and throttle.
I've seen people heel-toe, toe-toe, and toe-heel. It just depends on the driver's foot/shoe shape and the footbox shape in the car. |

Here is a pic of my fronts after a day of track. Ran them around 38 and they seemed to feel really good. How do they look to you? Any concerns? Hard to see here, but the treads seem to stick out kind of weird...

Same here; but try doing it on a car like a Corvette, you DEFINITELY need your heel and toes for blipping the throttle under braking.

One thing i noticed, close to the end of the day, my last runs the tires seemed to really slide more in the corners, is that normal? I was thinking of keeping my current wheels and tires for my DD, and get a good set of tires and wheels for the track, wheel size and tire recommendations? Thinking squared? Thanks for the input!

What's your budget for wheels/tires, and are you looking to get dedicated track tires? |

I know a pyrometer is ideal, but what would you recommend as a starting point for hot pressures for the Dunlop Z2 tire at the track (BW 13CW). 225s on 17x8 wheel. Thanks!

If i do dedicated track tires and wheels, then less money there, since i will need both the wheels and tires, if i do a more aggressive tire on my current wheels, then i could spend more on just the tire. This is not my daily and i dont drive it in snow/rain, so thinking that maybe just a real aggressive street tire? Just not sure. |
