when i bought my car, the guy gave me the stock rims w/ non Z rated tires. My current tires are shot and i was wondering if it would be ok to run the non z rated tires for a while. My main concern is that i wanted to take it to the track now and again and i didn't know how they would handle temp wise there. thanks

 

dude do not get regular tires! get some z rated tires for daily driving, i'm telling you because i decided to do exactly what you are thinking of and regreted it so bad no traction worth of sh*t.

 

i just sold a set of 4 eagle f1 zrated fr 200 bucks...

 

They don't have to be z-rated. I'm running BFG KDW's and they're only Y rated, so far they've been great.

 

I have a set of Kumhos for daily driving and a different set of tires for the track and I love it but.... I did get killed by a stang b/c I just spun at a light while he got traction and left

 

Yes its okay. You are trading grip for wear. If you need it, Tire Rack.com has a chart of what each speed rating means.
