Greg,

I have the Rockahama A032R tires on my vette and they do not have the grip of other tires. They really do not give any more warning before letting go in a corner AND they let go earlier. In my opinion, track tires are always safer with more grip. I find my bravery runs out first if I have stickier tires.

I recommend you look at the Toyo RA1s. These are sticky and they are consistent performers through the entire tread depth (the Kumhos cross-link and get slick as they wear, the Rockahamas are always slick). I and JB34 run these on the street as our driver tires as well as at the track. I have about 1.5 yrs (and a lot of tread left) and I think Jim had 2 years on his when he sold the car. They do last pretty well and are much stickier than the Rockahamas.

You might want to talk locally to GroupA (tire dealer). I got good prices for my Toyos and great service. I think ~$700 for the set.

BTW, what group are you planning to track with? Let me know if you want any info.
