I've heard some good things out of the local street racers around here about them. They said life was better than the M/Ts but the M/Ts were the best hooking tire. They're relatively new so only time will tell how much life they get out of them, compared to how it's driven as well.

A guy named Mike Davis that i am friends with tested them tires last year for Goodyear. He provided them with feedback after each race. He raced NSS in the NSCA and finished 3rd. He loved them tires. His GTO was a heavy car and ran high 10's N/A. With nitrous that car had ran 9.50's i believe and the 60' times were around 1.35-1.40. Goodyear is a series sponsor for the Ram Racing N/A Shootout Drag Radial class so some of the racers will be running them this year. I am sure there will be a lot of feedback from them after the first few races. Go to www.ramracing.us to read more. I hope this helps!
