No I haven't tracked with stock tires yet but I've driven them for autocrossing.
In a nut shell, the stock tires have pretty bad grip and while it's fun for sliding around that is definitely not something I want to do when I am approaching a corner with 90 miles on my speedometer.

I found the Z2 I had were pretty capable of tracking laguna seca, and I am getting more grip than I need. In theory I think the car is capable of doing 1:50s unfortunately the driver himself (me) needs to get better at his lines and acceleration before he can come close to that. I bet Pobst can even do 1:49 with the current setup.
