Since it sounds like you want to end up in SPB club racing why not run RA1s (the only tires allowed in the class)?. It will allow you to accustimize yourself as well as learn the setup for your car.

You'll get at least 2 or 3 times the cycles out of them if compared to Hoosiers. If I were DEing on them I would run them till they fall apart - probably 4 or 5 weekends. Racing I get a total of 6 days including 8 races out of a set.

Most of us run a square set up which means 8.5s with 255/40/17s on all corners (with 1/4" spacers on the front for most). Fast laps and wins seem to mostly occur on this setup so hard to argue with success.

SORRY PLEASE IGNORE EVERYTHING ABOVE I JUST REALIZED YOU ARE RUNNING A CAR INELIGABLE FOR SPEC RACING.
