Thanks for the suggestions. I do about 5 drivers schools a year with my other cars (01 M coupe and E36 M3/4) and always get a different set of wheels and dedicated track tires as i dont like to trash the stock wheels and street tires. My first DS back in 98 i trashed the stock tires so since then i like to have a dedicated set. This will be my first car with 19inch wheels and when looking on Tire Racks site there was not much choice in wheels and tires for track. The only tire for the track was the Michilen Pilot Cups at 418.00 for the fronts and 466.00 for the rears. Also wheels are heavy in 19s. Im thinking that 245/40/18 and 265/40/18 but Tire Rack has no track tires in that size. Hopefully once the car comes out there will be more options or it might just be cheaper to trash street tires at every drivers school.
Appreciate 0
