Sounds like as a student you're excelling better than most Honestly i would stick w/ street/summer tires until you become an advanced/solo student. This will make you become extremely disciplined in tire dynamics and handling characteristics and temp/pressure etc.

Good luck and careful of the slippery slope which seems to be grabbing hold of you most expeditiously... Welcome to the madness!

I've been recommended Federal 595 RS-R tires by my local PCA chief instructor and shop owner... apparently they are an amazing value and I am thinking of going with those on my next set very soon (after using RS3s). Keep in mind these are R comps, so they might put more stress on your oiling system on high g load turns... I have 10 DE events on my RS3s, and probably 2 more to go. Great tire.
