However, as you correctly stated, going with a grippier compound will likely get you more benefit.

Would going to a real sticky compound off the track be a serious compromise?. I feel like that one night driving home on a cold rainy summer night could very well offset all the fun on the warm dry days and then some.

Agreed. It is all about compromises. I decided to go the route of wider PSS instead of grippier tires to preserve more wet weather capability; and even then, the wider PSS and not quite as good in the wet.

This is my first car ever that I felt as if I needed to LOWER power, mostly in gears 1-2. I have not even enjoyed the M in anything over 65 degrees, I can only imagine how awesome traction will become in 85-100 degree weather. Like I said, I can pin 1st from 5mph in Efficient and Sport and basically get it to hook. I am at 4500ft and only have access to 91, I'm for sure not making as much power as you sea level/93oct guys. I can't launch it consistently from a dig, and that honestly is the only thing that pisses me off I recently bought some 285/40R18 Nitto 555Rs for summer, it's been too cold and rainy to mount them on, but I will as soon as I get a chance. The things I do for traction, driving on drag radials that last from 8-10k miles so I can get this car to hook.
