A buddy of mine has done several track days on the Hankook V12 with no chunking or odd wear at all. They've held up great so I wouldn't count them out.

Yes, the Star Spec and RS3 will definitely give you more grip and work better under harder conditions, but the Hankooks will teach you to be smoother and not push so hard as to induce so much understeer because they will get too hot and feel greasy. That's what used to happen with my Goodyear Asymmetric F1. They would work great unless I pushed them too hard so 15 minutes into a session I'd have to slow down and let them cool.

Also, remove the Cobb. The LAST thing you do for track days is add HP. Learn how to drive first and then add HP. Brakes are actually the MOST important performance part on your car. Yes, way above tires and especially above adding HP. If you can't stop........you're in BIG trouble.
