Bringing this thread back from the dead, I'm just curious that now that folks have had more time with the spec tire:
1) What is the typical performance behavior of the tire? Similar to the R35? (I see Hoosier says the compound is slightly harder than the R35.)
2) After which heat cycle does the performance drop off really start to show?
3) Lap times compared to Avons or R25s/35s?
In full disclosure, I drive an older Sportsracer that runs FC-sized tires and given that a set of Avons is now $1300-$1400 I'm looking at various options.
Thanks!
