Is there anything special i should know to not destroy my tires because i kind of want to make it through the summer on them? Am i going to be fine for my first ever track day?

You'll be fine for your first track event, just be mindful that they dont like to be over-driven and have accelerated wear in a track environment. Listen to the tires (literally) and they will tell you when you're over doing it and need to back off a bit. Dont have aggresive entey or exit speeds. Depending on your skill level and advancement through the weekend you may have to drive less than your ability to preserve the tires and brakes. I would recommend running a higher PSI so you dont destroy the outside edges of the tires too. Dont forget to have fun!  |
Thank you for the advice! My main goal is to learn as much as i can, but i was thinking to do like 2 hot laps per session. how much PSI would you recommend running to not destroy outer edge of the tire?
