It really comes down to what you're trying to accomplish. I'd think the PSS is a good tire for a track novice to start on as they're pretty forgiving.

As for the VDC system, I've had pretty good results with EcuTek's traction control. It's adjustable if you also purchase the Bluetooth setup and it doesn't cut power and step on the rear brakes like the VDC does. I have it set up where I just turn my VDC off and the EcuTek traction control is activated.

I totally agree regarding EcuTeck! I turn it the tc off using it on the track in the dry and the car behaves the way it should and I turned it on when I was tracking in the wet and it work perfectly. It's not as intrusive as the vdc. I had one of those oh crap the back end want to lead moments and I made my corrections as I would normally and the EcuTeck tc worked like a charm in so much that it simply added some braking and then let go as I go off the throttle and start providing my own inputs. It is hard to describe but I have been very impressed with it and you don't lose your use of abs not that is a biggie for me.
