If your ok with not getting griptastic ~200tw tires the dilemma becomes finding a hard/street tire that doesn't go away when it's hot. Nobody talks about that because we all buy "track day tires" for the track.


I'd love to know if the traditional summer street tires like the PS4S or Continental equivalent will hold up to the heat generated by a stock powered 86 without the grip giving out and me wasting a 7/10th lap to get them to come back.
They will all overheat.

The SX2 isn't the fastest tire, but they're cheap, and have FANTASTIC life. Unbeatable training tire. Street compound on a R-compound carcass.
