Dirt track, too.

Road Racers go through expensive tires like crazy. Too rich for my blood. I can get a season and a half out of a set of autocross tires. And the 14s for my MR2 aren't as expensive as the big ones for some of the Corvettes and such. Still, $800 is a hunk of change. But if you think about it as cost per run it's not too bad.
