I was speaking in generalities. Us instructors agree with each other on the present topic at hand.


Easy now, rawr.

I may be a Mike too but Mike Davidson is who put the tires on the car and asked my to instruct her. I completely agree with everything that has been said in all of the posts about street tires with one caviot. If she feels better about going out on these tires I wont say no. I am going to have to be more aware of whats going on and make sure speeds are in line with shown ability. I would also recommend getting a set of street tires to beat the shit out of if you continue with tracking. They are cheap with a huge selection to chose from and have very forgiving breakaway characteristics. This will teach you to drive better as your speeds increase and you then make the jump to fresh "R" tires later.
