Message which would be a nice thing for the few minutes you spend autoxing.

But I would say they are a little stickier than normal good street tires, like an S03 or oem style michelin pilot sport.

I've heard great things about michelin pilot sport 2s, they may be more comparable in grip (probably more) to the dunlop. Luke was saying a shaved bfg kd would be even faster than the dunlops (they have way too soft sidewalls (I can't keep them from horribly rolling over no matter what the tire pressure). In a few words, I see them as a glorified street tire.

I drove some overly heat cycled and weathered (years old), near worn yokohama a032r's and found those to be faster even with all the wear on them. A032r's fresh are known to be slower than kumho V series R-compounds, hoosiers, michelin pilot sport cups, avon r-tires, etc.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
