Had a blast on a local track yesterday, first time in this car. Three 20min sessions. Tires definitely got warm but they look normal after a track day. Driving home after and also today I noticed the OEM tires are noticeably louder/ road noise. I have around 3800 miles. Is the added noise normal? Just seems odd.

You probably have a ton of OPR (other people's rubber) on your tires -- standard stuff, you can scrape it off with a heat gun and scraper/chisel if you want.

Hey Trey, it’s Seth. That’s just feathering because of stock camber. It’s a sign you’re doing good work out there!

Get you a cheap second set of wheels and 200TWs to mount up for next time.

I had a lot of this. Turning off traction control and inducing a bit of wheelspin took care of it pretty quickly. :)

It will go away after a while.
