Does anyone know how much horsepower it takes before 245 size tires pretty much become useless at the track?

They're useless w/stock power if you have cheap, hard tires.

I second that. To me there useless on the street as soon as you learn how to drive the car and by that I mean once you make it around one block.

stock 245s + stock LS1 A4 + 2.73s still = useless. I can spin those things at 40mph on dry pavement still.

sure is fun tho, but i'd run bias-ply times at a track.
