Funny u say that tack... Heard some not so good things about them, from guys that sell them too...
Ive been talked out of them a while back, when i was going to give them a try...
Warm up good, grip not so... say compared to the dunlops ect.
Got a mate who uses them, and likes them, but his sessions are in med/fast.
They were a good cheap tyre, but with the dunlop control tyres now around the $460 a set, that is a way better choice... and u still get plenty of track time out of them.
Good thing with the dunlop, is that when green and at there best, they then only loose a sec or so, then stay that way for there life so to speak... and grip doesnt drop off much... very controlable untill there shagged...
