Sorry, did not know you could not use R-compound tires.
If you are using 17's, try the pirelli Corsa's. They have a 215-40-17 that are great! I used them as my first race tires before going to slicks. They will work in the rain but are excellent on dry pavement. I got at least 4 races plus three days of racing school at Roebling Road on them.
Good luck!
Steve

Hello Phil,
Be sure to remind me when you are arriving at N.P.R., I will definitely try to be there and can give you some tips on the track.
Good luck,
Steve
