I think that one of the more than capable McKamey instructors that
subscribes to this list can offer the best opinion on the street tire vs.
race tire question.
>From my experience in an FS Camaro, I ran both McKamey phases back to back
on a new set of 245 45 X 16 Kumhos and at the end of the school, the tire
were just getting "right". I would estimate that they had 70% of the wear
left on them. In my situation, wear was not an issue.
