Going to be venturing into my first track day soon. Just need to pull my finger out of my bum pipe.

I have some Metzler Racetec part worn tyres which will just be used for the track. I don't particularly want to faff about with tyre warmers (or want the expense) and I'm more than happy to just head out and learn how the tyres behave and warm up on the track. In fact, this is what I will be doing.

Still, I though it'd be interesting to get an idea from people in the know as to how they'll perform, and an idea of how quickly they'd warm up, and at what point you'd guess they'd be ready to take some beans and proper lean. I know it's all just guess work and speculation, but really I have ZERO knowledge on how long they'll take to get temp into them. All I know is they'll take longer than a road specific compound.
