Got them a good 1/2 year ago and they are holding up well....partly because of the absence of frequent trackdays.
Its performance belies its very conservative looks. This is one very good tyre.
Dry performace matches that of my old Bridgestone Adrenalins and has stiffer sidewalls, yet somehow more comfortable AND quieter. I have very high confidence on tight high speed corners....they just dig in and bite hard into the corner with no drama.
Wet performance against aquaplanning can be better but its real party piece is its predictability at the limit. Its a very communicative tyre, allowing you to dial in just the right amount of torque and steering lock without breaking traction.
If the Bridgestone RE001 scored 80%, this comes in at 85%.
Paid $190 a year back...but it seems prices have gone up. It also looks like Michelin has a new Pilot Sport 3 out that is raking in just as impressive reviews.
