Couple of the guys in our club use them as track tyres, they are 90% as good as a R888, but last 3 times as long.Plus they dont howl like 888's do on the road. I rate them, cars feel planted enough with them on. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

I'm planning on getting these on the track car. Reviews I've read seem pretty positive as well, quite popular in the States.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Seem very good indeed, although beware on slightly damp cold roads. They don't last well either really.A lot of them are now on to the 18" NGTC dunlops as they fit the P2 volvos perfectly. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
