Stumbled onto the SCCAForums site ahile ago. In the ST* forums there's plenty of tire talk, especially regarding Azenis and MX's. The topic/debate seemed to be which tire's heat characteristics best suited each car and driver's style. I do plan on mounting whichever I choose on separate wheels for track-only use (maybe driving to and from).

I agree with your modification plan. I've seen that echoed elsewhere on this board. This would seem a logical way for the car to progress in step with my driving abilities, too.

Eric- If I've read the rules correctly (and I haven't read them all, yet) R-compound tires are allowed in the stock and SP classes, but not in the STS class. I thought R-compounds in stock was a little weird, but....
