i doubt your tires will overheat its 3 lap seesions for time attack 2 warmup laps and then the third timed lap, you heat up your tires more in mountain runs, thats wy my last set got eaten up in 8 months and 30 minutes of constant pushin it is sterss full on the tires

My Nitto NEO GENS that I have right now are $600 for 4...
$500 is dirt cheap for track tires...Ill probably buy my track tires before track wheels (used) because cmon, im gonna track my car...
Im also building a storage in my yard (i live on 1 acre land) to put a tire rack from tirerack.com and shelves and stuff of my car because My garage is full of it and my bro is FED UP with me taking up all the space...

well yeah thats true i was going coiovers since the begining i was gonna go megan, but then like jedi and others have told me a good spring and adjustable shock paired is better than cheap coilovers, i really like the stance cause they are monotube and are built super sturdy, but 130 for new rsrs isnt bad
