Some decent tire info for you in there as well.

But the point in the above post is that while you may not 'need' more tire, I'm willing to bet someone with experience could drive your car at 10/10ths, get out and the first words out of their mouth would be 'needs more grip' even at <250 whp levels with 215 street tires.
That's awesome advice. I'm not out to win a whole bunch of races in this car...

I'm after a setup that I can push to 10/10ths everywhere... I have that right now, I'm just trying to make small improvements to address things I don't like, without ruining it. I'm good at that, but it involves lots of overthinking things.

For you motorcycle people, this is the SV650 of cars. I want to keep it that way.
