Tires for the track

Yeah, that slit "appeared" for many others too. So far, mine is ok. I am saving those tires for the street. I will use the g-Force for track duty.
Most everyone was up in the air in 1999 on what tires to get (and was the talk at the SAAC-Motor City Region Christmas Party). Many decided to get he Kuhmos, and got burned. Since then, many have gone to g-Forces. Others went Hooser and elsewhere.
As for dialing them in, no I didnt really do that. I drive my car to work (rarely) and drive it the same configuration (yeah, same race tires and all) to the track. So I simply tighten the 5-point harness and go.
Others, like my friend Scott, (see Autocross videos) dials his car in for every session. He a an absolute nut (I mean that in a nice way) about taking down tire temps and alignement specs, cycle of the full moon... :-)
All in all I have been happy with the g-Forces, just they did wear exceptionally fast (bas camber for street) on the street.
