Considering a set of wheels for track days so I can more easily and quickly ensure I have fresh rubber for the day(s) and not feel bad about pulling off my street tyres with plenty of street life in them. Is this a worthwhile idea?
Other considerations, of course, are what to get if'n I do. I've heard varying praise for aluminium, carbon, and mag rims with varying degrees of wallet emptying power. I'm not a very quick track rider and have a ways to improve. I'm a bit concerned that the investment in hi-performance wheels would be perhaps wasted on my current skillset compared to a rider who already has quite competitive skills/need (as in someone who actively races).
In any case, I'll be finishing this summer on one set of wheels and do some winter thinking. Any advice welcomed good sirs
