So they look surprisingly good after 6 track days. If you look at the bottom outside of the tire you can see the outside worn more. This year I'm running -2.0 deg of camber. I'm curious to see if it helps.

These tires made me proud again at Mid Ohio. Grip was out of this world!!

I don't know what else to say. They were awesome.

Final update to this thread.

I finished a day at Gingerman raceway in West Michigan yesterday. I forgot how tough that track is on brakes and tires. You turn constantly, and they aren't gentle sweepers either.

Tires performed as expected ... until the last 2 sessions (of 7 total). They got very greasy towards the end, you could just tell they gave up. And then I saw the chunking of the thread.

I got 8 track days out of these, and about 7000 total miles, which is pretty good. I still have nothing but good things to say about this tire after 3 seasons of use and abuse. I was hoping to get 1 more day later this month out of these, but they gave up the ghost a bit earlier. Still not bad at all for a $235 tire.

I would consider buying again, but I'd like more ultimate grip. I think I'll go extreme performance summer next time. Thanks S04's, it's been a good ride!

I have been running these tires on both my cars this year and love them.
They are very sticky and I can take sharp corners like never before.
I smile with every hard corner and my take-offs are much faster with much less tire spin.
Great tire for the price.
