Thanks JD.
Yes, you are correct, the rubber on the tyre is mostly pick-up.
Novice (always learning) not beginner.
I want and need more grip. I feel on track the tyres are heating up well beyond what they were designed for (fast road driving) in a 15 min session. They are excellent road tyres...
Hiya.

I did a track day (night) here in Sydney recently, and pretty quickly found the limitations of the stock tyres.
On the up-side, they vaporised very evenly across the faces and were trashed both front and rear, showing the basic balance is good. It was a cool night in Sydney...
Fair enough. By average, I suspect you're probably right. *sigh*. A sad state of affairs.
There's nothing shiny on my car at all though, and I was on the track at SMSP just last night.
I guess I'm the minority.
There's an opportunity and an addressable market if you happened to be interested in offering a "fix" for this as a product.
*puts hand in the air*
Josh.
Honestly.
If they were to make a "special"
All I'd want to see, is an SL / Superlight version.

Everything else can stay the same and everything else would reap the benefits.
I go one step further.
Warm up stage 1: Gentle driving and no real boost until 80c water temp
Warm up stage 2: Moderate driving until the oil temp shows higher than the water temp (an additional 5 mins or so) Then it's hammer time.
