i don't know, i know plenty of guys who auto-x and run full on race tires on stock components :shrugs:

but it might be worth at least checking you suspension and make sure everything is in good working order.

YUP, they are probably only desinged to last for a race or two. they ARE a racing tire, they are treaded and DOT aproved.
