Does anyone have OEM (or otherwise) 19" non-winter tires for a 991 that you are looking to sell? Looking to use for the track. Still a novice and was advised to stick with regular tires at first just to learn the car and tracking since track or better tires may not help me see my mistakes.

From one who was where you are now a year ago, welcome to the dark side of tracking your Porsche.
One piece of advice - I'd recommend upgrading your brake fluid before the track day. Get something like Motol RBF or Castrol SRF. Both are good. Motol is a bit cheaper. You want the most dependable braking possible. Other than that, have a blast.

I still use the OEM Dot 4 brake fluid because I didn't think i would need to change. Obviously something I need to review further and i very much appreciate your recommendations. Do they perform better than OEM brake fluid? I did have a brake fluid flush before each track event. I did not experience brake fade, but, admittedly, i wasn't driving 100%. What I did notice is glazing on the brakes. I'm not sure whether I was outperforming my base Carrera brakes, but i ordered this "upgrade" from Suncoast Parts which is going to be delivered Monday: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/PK981SBRA.html. Can't wait to install them. Will get the rear brake calipers painted or powder coated red to match, of course, but looking forward to the bigger brakes. Other than that, I'm using a set of 19" BBS CHR wheels for the track. Any other recommendations that come to mind?

+1 on the brake fluid recommendation. I also would invest in some competition pads. I use Pagid RS 29's .
They are pricey, but will last and easily save you $ as your stock pads will be shot every 3-4 track days.

Makes sense. After a two-day track event at Sebring, one day at Homestead, and 12,000 miles (including those track events) of driving, my pads are almost gone and glazed in the front.
