What’s wrong with it? Is that why you’re pulling more interior panels?

Introduction:
I have been using this forum quite a bit, so finally figured I should introduce myself.
I'm currently in Cleveland, but also spend quite a bit of time in Michigan too.
I bought my Black Mk6 GTI Autobahn last summer after selling my '09 Ford Fusion. My dad started tracking his car, so I got the itch and wanted something I could take to the track with him.
So far I have only gotten tints (15% all around), installed a Beluga CBE, OEM S3 Short Shifter, and OEM+ pads and rotors.
Next spring I plan on installing Bilstein B14s, new wheels and tires (TBD), getting proper track pads, and going Cobb Stage 1+.

I'm thinking Enkei TM7s in grey or Raijins in silver. I'm planning on running some Firehawk Indy 500s on them. I've got until the spring to make a decision, so I'll be keeping my eyes out for some good deals.

Honestly Indy 500s aren’t that good of a tire. I have them on a vr6 car aka a slow heavy car and I’d never run them on something with torque. They’re okay... I dont really understand why so many people are running them. They were a good deal when they were ~70 a tire but the prices for them keep going up and they really aren’t that great for over $100 a tire.

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
They aren't bad for a daily with stockish power who wants to do a few highway pulls, but agree if you're aggressively driving and ever have to turn they aren't the right tire.

Glad I got some feedback on them. The price point is nice and I have a friend who recommended them. I’ll keep doing some research, any advice on tires near that price point for mostly daily use with the occasional track weekend?
