EDIT: Please ignore this thread, I found what I was looking for elsewhere. Thanks!
Anyone tried Hankook Ventus RSS Z211tires on the track, or know much about them? Looks like they are available in Evo sizes (255/40/17 is an Evo size as far as I'm concerned so long as the sidewall is stiff enough). I'm thinking about getting some for my upcoming track day instead of using the venerable RT-615's.

Here is some more info on them:

To me they look similar to Toyo RA1's with a similar treadware rating of 50, although it looks like they are available in their C30 (Hard) and C50 (Medium) compounds so I'm not sure how they could both have the same treadwear rating. I suppose once you are below 100 it's pretty much a SWAG from there...

Any input would be appreciated. I know the Miata Cup guys run Hankooks so they do have a racing pedigree...and I ran the Hankook Icebear snow tires last winter and even into the spring, and they are some badass tires for winter!!!!!

these are a trakc only tire, you cannot use them on the street at ALL. they wear SUPER fast as in they'll only last ONE track day weekend (this is from tswift). these are what you use if you want to have an edge in a race. they're not for practicing.
