Yeah on the computer I don't have to worry about that, cause I don't have to pay for them.
Plus in races there's a limited number of tires you get to use - plus it takes time to change the tires.
You can get them cheaper sometimes, but race slicks will run you about 2k for four of them - and they will last about an hour, maybe an hour and a half. You can get more miles out of them by being more careful, but they don't last very long.
Regular people just use regular street tires for track days, more often than not.
I would think if I were to go do a track day regularly I would want track tires
Pirelli P Zero hold up fairly well on the track. They're a good blend between street and track tires, and they're about half the price.
If you want to take it serious, race slicks are the way to go.
