Hi roadster dudes and dudettes, I found this info on a decal inside my

I love em!! Very sticky and predictable. The only draw back is the
hardness
(or lack of). Will be interesting how much mileage I'll get. Calspeed:
Have you gone thru a set yet? How many miles are you getting? >>
Hello,
I also agree... they are fantastic tires. The compound is fairly soft but
that is why they are so "high performance" I have not worn out a set yet
since. I only have one road course session and one autocross on them.
Also,
Shasta and my last trip to the Gold Country. Otherwise, they are holding up
pretty well. They are showing wear in the rear.
I plan to get another set of tires just for regular driving. I dont want to
take a chance and get a nail in it. Plugging up the tire would ruin its
speed rating.
