those forgelines and SICK, but a grand each!! WOW! Iam liking Axis heros...so far...

 

Actually more tires aren't always better on a road course for a first timer.

 

true, but i cant see any of these wheels being less durable then my sportmax 006s lol....it was 800 for the set. And i figure if iam going to spend the money on new wheels i might as well get top quality.

and not to sound like an asshole but how can more tires not be a good thing?

 

j lines?

 

If you have massive tires with awesome grip as you start learning you will develop alot of bad habits. You should learn on moderate tires so you get a feel for what the car is doing, instead of just having the tires do all the work for you.

 

still not exactly a lightweight car, and 305s on a mustang on street tires is alot different then R-comps, plus street tires won't hide the mistakes like the r-comps will

 

yeah, last time i had it weighed it was 3400 with out me in it....and a 1/4 tank, not a light car. and damnit iam trying to justify spending so much on fenders and wheels and tires....shhhhhh lol!

 

IMO that rule is really R-comp specific. I had some really, really crappy tires on my car when I got it and it only took me a handful of events before I felt like the tires were seriously holding me back at every point on course. They were unpredictable, uncontrollable, rolled over on the sidewall even at high pressures, and I had them howling on the edge of traction through what seemed like half the course, feeling slow and impatient and wishing I could push harder. I've got some Dunlop Z1 Star Specs on there now and even though the grip level is tremendously higher, I feel like they'll be way easier to learn on than the crap I had before. They're way more predictable, with much better steering feel that lets you know when they're on the edge of grip, and break away more predictably. The first time I had them out on my street testing course I was able to confidently push them closer to the edge than I ever could on the old tires, even though I was going a lot faster.

Just my take, but I say get the best street tires you can afford. They're still street tires- I can already tell you that they won't cover up bad driving from personal experience .

 

Forgiato have a nice lineup.

 

I would look into upgrading your brakes first if your going to do some track days at sebring. IIRC your brakes are the same as the stock GT mustang? I see those having trouble stopping so much weight,even if you were to get lighter wheels its alot more than the stock GT wheels.
