This looks like a good thread to kick in this question on. Several of you who've responded here have mentioned what you look for in a tire (while not actually telling me which tire you use, hahaha).

My car is an '03 S, that I'd like to do a couple track days in.

I think the "smart" way for me to approach this is to have a spare set of wheeels / tires that I use for the track.
On the car now are new-ish Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3, 205/50/17 front, 255/40/17 rear. I don't get the sense I'll love these at the track, but they seem to be a good road tire.

I'm sure this is a common thing for others who track their driver, so I'm looking forwarding to hearing how y'all handle this issue What's the right setup (wheel / tire) for me to get as my spare set? I'll remain budget-minded, so please keep that in mind as you respond. For that matter, if I'm off-base about the spare-set, and you think it makes sense to be swapping back-n-forth on the same wheels, I'd love to hear about how y'all do that.

Thanks in Advance!
