beginners can have mistakes covered up on tires that are too sticky. Harder tires don’t need to be crappy tires.

But frequently they are... In particular the OEM Primacies are known to be unforgiving at the limit. For me, Hankook RS4s are a *great* tire for newbs to bring to the track. Fun and forgiving tires to drive on.
