225	40	18	255	35	18	31	36	31	36	8	8	9	9	Yes

Recommended: Yes, but would like to try other options.
Final Thoughts: The tire performed great for HPDEs. They were predictable, audible, and performed great during the 30 min sessions. I noticed if i ran higher tire pressure, the tires got more greasy. They seemed to like lower pressures ~35psi. These are tires that you can run on the street and take to the track. Im sure they wont have as much grip as the extreme street tires but they held up well on the track and would be fine for novice and intermediate level drivers.

Final Thoughts: Very good wet grip. Decent dry grip for several laps, and then greasy and slippery when hot. Tend to lose chunks of tread.

Final Thoughts: Great for a street tire. Audible communication very good. Predictable. Very good in the wet. Overheats in very hot weather. Chunking is an issue in the center tread blocks. Shoulder wear also an issue.

Final Thoughts: Excellent street tire for the track. Others are Bridgestone RE-11, Yokohama Advan AD08, Hankook RS-3. Newbies should not drive on R compounds until at least they're Intermediate.

Recommended: Yes, but would like to try other options.
Final Thoughts: Given temperatures of 55F and warmer, dry grip is quite good, with predictable performance. After several days on track, tread wear (or lack thereof) is admirable, but grip levels fall off and it becomes increasingly difficult to get tires up to temperature. After some usage, wet weather grip becomes somewhat unpredictable.
