So I've got an SS 1LE and done a couple of tracks days now. . But now I'm starting to think about new tires that will be more suitable for a track. What tires can I fit under the arches and not have to make any modifications? Thanks

By "track" do you mean a road course or a drag strip?

Yes Track. I’ve done a couple of track days now (Sonoma and Buttonwillow) and I’m oretty much on the limit with tyres squealing from the tread bars.

That's what tires do
Stock G3s are very capable tires pace wise and on par with some "competition" rated rubber.
Do you use proper hot pressure in them?

Agreed. The S3's are vocal but an otherwise excellent trackable summer tire. Looking over my Cosworth data from the season, it appears 160°F and 35 PSI is about the sweet spot for the Supercar3's.
