The replacement tires that are left are all 100 treadwear street/racing tires.
My question is this: are these 100 treadwear street/racing tires going to throw every grain of sand or pebble into or onto my fiberglass fenders? And if so, what other tires do you recommend in the 17 inch size that will give me great traction but do no damage to my body or paint?
If you are not driving on the track, I suggest the MICHELIN PILOT SPORT. If you are driving on the track, then I highly suggest the Toyo Proxes R888R
