Hi all!
I haven't really been active since I registered due to work and some other reasons. But I have a 23' GT with MT82 and Active Exhaust, fully stock as of now.(Love those 235 Pirellis)
I will try to keep it short as these questions were probably asked a thousand times. But here it is; this car is my daily driver, I am a beginner and will try to get into HPDE. So not a ton of track action/racing for a while.
I am getting SVE R357's 19x10 Square Setup, 285-35-19 tires.
I wish I could afford Michelins or Contis but I basically have 2 options within my reach:
Ohtsu FP8000 or Firestone Firehawk Indy 500(bit of a stretch for me)
Now, as I am a beginner and won't be trying to set lap records for the foreseeble future, is it OK to start with something like Ohtsu and maybe get some dedicated Track tires as I progress?
Or,
Should I get something a little bit better like Firehawk Indy 500's and maybe upgrade in the future?
I would appreciate your thoughts and all the valuable input.
Thanks so much,
John
