Yea, to clear it up, I haven't tried it on a 100% good surface, the spot I got on it wasn't wet, but it had just dried up from raining so you know how it goes. I don't know if I'll get a chance to get a track test tomorrow but I'll try. I'll at least get a vid of it on the street, I'm suppose to run a TT Termi sometime soon so that will be a good test.

Well I didn't get to use them at the track, but I'll get a street review asap, the weather looks sketchy the next few days, but we'll see how it goes!

Well, they aren't too good on the street. I haven't been back to track. From a 50 roll then WOT the car swung probably 2 feet left and right twice before I had to bail out of it. 55-60 roll they spin but go straight. Granted it was chilly, 50* or so. The MT's are quite a bit better on the street for sure.

3 runs into it, and 2 burn-outs it still wasn't great. They are good tires, but the MT's are better. The only reason I'd suggest these over MT's is if you need the tire size that MT doesn't have.
