If you're tires are overheating in 2 laps, you'll want to make sure you have appropriate tires and are not overdriving them.

You'll always benefit from having better pads.

At the track? Yes. Low grip tires will require you to brake more than high grip tires for corners.

GT Radial SX2. Lasts forever. Super consistent grip. Great communication, and lower grip to always dance around that limit.

The deposits are the vibrations.

OP is asking for a track application... HVAC intake temp is probably less of a concern there!

That said, in normal driving conditions, there should be minimal to no impact on AC performance.

PP Brembos are very noise prone. You'd be better off going with the CSG BM4 front, with CP, which will be nearly silent. Higher rigidity with the CSG BM4.
