New, Need Advice.

Greetings All,
We have a 2003 MCS that my wife has been autoxing for the past several years. We co-drive at BMWCCA Boston events. Last year my wife decided to try DE and loved her first 4 days all @ Watkins Glen w/ PCA

My question, for AX we have been running Falken Azenis 215/45/16 on Kosei K1 wheels. For her first days on track I put the all season Goodyear run flats on as she was just learning. This year she will be doing her first of season track day at NHIS in the Yellow Run Group (NER-PCA). Can I put her out there safely with the still usable Falkens or will they build up too much heat in a 25 minute session? I understand that the new Falken 615's may be a decent fit for track use, but we stil have the previous version of the Azenis. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Try posting this in the racing forum. This is the tire forum but the racing folks might know this answer ...
