Full treads if you are on a budget, both if you have the money.

Aren't the full treads slower though?
I would not really worry about the full treads being slower as seconds off of laps will not really be seen until you are consistently fast in your car. After 3 years of racing I can finally run consistent fast laps in my car, so for me the full treads are 2-3 seconds slower a lap (more at some tracks), for a beginning racer they will be fine and more cost effective as they will last longer and you will not need a set of rain tires just yet, the full treads work as rain tires too.
If you have the cash to spend, it is ideal to have multiple sets of wheels and tires. You will need at least two sets of wheels and tires when you get deep into racing, a set of shaved newer tires and a set of full tread rains, because sometimes it rains and we race in it, and it is absolutely impossible to race in the rain on shaved tires. I prefer to have three sets, one newer set of shaved tires, one older set of used shaved tires, and a set of rains. The older tires are faster on tracks that have been recently paved as the compound is harder from the age and heat cycles, and the newer grippy tires are faster on tracks with less traction like Sebring.

Since we are an online business, are hours of operation are not on a strict schedule. We typically check emails and are online Monday through Friday from 7am-8:30am and check phone messages and are online again at 4pm-5pm. The best time to get us on the phone is after 4pm Monday through Friday. If you call in between these hours please leave a detailed message about the product you are interested in or your order. Please state your name, phone number or email, and the best time to call back. Emailing us through our Inquiry system on the store or directly to 5xracing@gmail.com is always the fastest way to get your answer, as we have the time to accurately research your question and find the accurate answers you are looking for.
