I get no grip with these tires compared to the previous ones, it's really drastic. Makes me hate driving the car hard, especially in corners -breaks traction easily.

Now on to the original posting. I plan on tracking the car this coming spring; I joined the Porsche Club. What do some of you experienced owners/weekend racers suggest. I have two sets of wheels, so I'm thinking street legal race tires for the track wheels and (fill in the blank) tires for day to day driving. I'd like a summer tire with sticky compound. Any suggestions?

For your regular street drive you can not go wrong with the Pilot Sport PS2 they may not wear the longest 10 to 15 K but they are forgiving and hold like they are cemented to the road. Cotintntal Sport contact hold but they are easy to put into a slide. and the front end of my car pushes with them on.

I got a set of Hankook RS-3 for on the track they hold better than the PS2 in corners they are not a class penelty on AX because they are 140 dot rated. In a 30 minute session on track they could get a little loose in the last lap or 2. I am happy with them for my experience level.
