Send Kula a pm as he has experience with these tyres on track. I think he was very happy with them considering they are not really a designated track tyre.

yup!

suprisingly good on the track!

ive tracked my car with:
Bridgestone GIIIs
Falken RT615s
Kuhmo Ecsta SPT
and Bridgestone Potenza RE001 Adrenalin.

adrenalins were the best.
half a lap they are warm, and they didnt overheat massively after 6-7 lap sessions!

all other tyres i have had seemed to go off after 5-6 hard laps.

the RTs had more outright grip, but took a full lap or more to get up to temp, and were bad for a couple of weeks after...
