I used to be in the camp of driving on the stock tires until you learn things. Now I'm more in the Sam Strano camp of don't bother driving on crappy tires if you really want to get into the sport since it's so much different. The reality is you'll never drive on crappy tires again after driving on decent ones.

The stock shocks are definitely adequate to be very competitive.

I also check/change my tire pressures between runs. Our local courses are usually really heavy in either left or right turns, and one side usually gains a lot more than the other side, and you don't necessarily want that.
