Dude you obviously don't track if you think highly of the stock tires...geez...i just tracked my Z today...and the stock tires are cry babies, well they were good until i learned the course and then started pushin it...i WISH i could get a set of the Falken RT615s, or Yoko A048s like i had on my 350z when i tracked it....but i haven't found them yet in 19"

Yes, I do "track" and have been for almost 7 years, 2 of which holding a comp licence.. However, I know better than to drive anything onto a track on street-tires. You obviously don't track competitively or even seriously.

I never said the stock tires are great on a track...they are street-tires for chrissakes. They are, however, up there with the top non R-compound street-tires on the market.

I agree with Joe. I also track, and if you think your tires are holding you back, then you are pushing way to hard or have a bad driving line. I run on street KDW2s, and I can pass people on slicks with more power without any issues. You know why? Because I am a better driver, and know where my limits of the car and tires are and use proper APEX and driving styles.

The stock tires are actually not bad at all for the track. Just learn to drive better.
