In a recent test in evo'dom they came out top for grip and hence corner speed but are a tad pricey in my size. £197 each. :shock:

Needless to say I haven't tried them. :lol: :lol:

wonder what they'd be like on a light car like the Elise though - remember the pZeros failing was they weren't designed for such a light vehicle, hence gash :?

They were compared to R888's and A048's and were the best of the three. They are marginally softer than the three also so I'd say they'd be pretty good.

I don't use them on the evo because they don't last long and neither do R888's. They are excellent for grip but wear out quickly on a realtively heavy car.

I now use part worn rally slicks for track at £25 each. They only last one or two trackdays but still cheaper. :wink:
