They'll be what I buy for my car for sure when I upgrade. I'm with others though, burn up those stock tires first and then upgrade. You'll appreciate the upgrade that much more when you do.
Hey Suavey. I run 225/45/17 RS-3s on dem fugly stockers.

I agree with Griever and others who believe running the stock tires first is the way to go. That's what I did (albeit without knowing any better) Just take it nice and easy on the first day at the track. Stay busy - get ride alongs, or have a skilled driver take your car out and ride shotgun so you can see what the tires are capable of in the hands of skillz. Then go from there. I had tons of fun on my first track day. Was lucky enough to have CSG Mike do a couple of laps in my car, laps he would call "normal" to my astonishment. Was mind-blown, then proceeded to set my fastest laps of the day.
