Maybe I should just get another set of rims and put some Pilot Sport Cups on 'em.  Like I have the money for that  |
Yes, the tread blocks on a street tire will move around causing the temperature to increase, however you need to take the fact that they are street tires into consideration and only drive at the limit of the tires, even if the capability of the car is more then the tires.
Another set of Wheels with Track Tires would be the way to go! I do think though that since this is your daily driver, you should stay on street tires, unless you really feel the urge to go that much faster on the course. Learning the street tires more will only help you become a better driver on the street in an emergency situation. It takes a certain finess to drive race tires at their limit, as to where street tires are more forgiving.
