I'm just finishing up a set -- ran them as dual-purpose street/autox tires
this year. I was disappointed in them as competition tires -- I'd had a set
of the HTR50Hs before this, which did quite well. The HTR 200 (which
replaced the 50H in the lineup) isn't nearly as good a tire, IMO -- the
sidewalls are softer (1 ply, instead of 2), and they don't stick as well.
I'd happily get another set just for street use, though.
