Absolutely not a waste of time. Sticky tires hide driver mistakes, the Primacy HP's are fantastic for learning because they teach you how to balance the car. That is because they are more punishing instead of forgiving; upset the balance of the car and you will slide or even spin out in areas where a sticky tire would not.

Plus, I believe there is value in changing only one part of the car at a time. That way, you can experience how each mod individually affects the car's performance. Obviously we know what happens when you increase power without increasing traction, but there is value in going out there and feeling it for yourself.
