Okay, I waited a little bit.
MPSCs: 235/285 combo in 18's, if the car is a 95 it must have upgraded components to use 18's.
Nitto 235's / 273(35profile) 18's.
These should be on dedicated track rims and NOT street driven for alot of reasons:
Tires will heat cycle properly on a track. Tires will less likely pick up a nail or adverse sidewall wear from pot holes etc. The best life of an R tire is with little tread which useless on the street.
I see no problem getting R-tires in the early groups, but do not exist only on these tires. Use them on good weather days after your comfortable on the track and your instructor agrees with the learning process.
MPSCs are a learning process just getting them to start sticking so it does add the "E" into DE.
If your aspiring to ever race, R-tires are an initial skill that will be needed to learn prior to full slicks or DOT slicks.
Good luck!
