Final Thoughts: I love it. For me it was very smooth and predictable. In my opinion it is a great tire for the intermediate instructed/beginner solo and is a great "next" tire for when a driver needs to get their first extra set of wheels. Does not have the chunking or other issues that you can get driving your regular max perf summer tires on track, and if you keep them at or below 40 PSI then they don't get all greasy feeling. My first set lasted for 8 track days and 6000+ miles of street driving and I still had at least 2 more weekends on them but went ahead and got a new set because I didn't feel they were safe for street driving (were practically slicks by that time).
