So I've got a track date set for the Elise in May. It's a FATT event at Summit Point. This will be my second time out and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the REV300 performs compared to my N/A motor from last time I was there.
Right now the car has black EuroExige rims and all season DWS tires. In my garage I've got some lightly used AD07's on the stock 8 spoke chrome rims.
So, although I think I'm gonna get killed for even asking, here's my dilemma. I know the Yoko's will perform better, but I *sooo* don't want to put the old rims back on the car. They just look terrible (to me) against all the rest of the mods I've done to the car in the last year.
Are the tires going to make that big of a difference, especially for a novice driver who doesn't [plan] on pushing the limits of the car?
Buying another set of tires is not an option, btw. Wife is already at her limit.
