Not really a "track tire" IMO.

Amazing tire if you're racing in the rain but unfortunately dont get any faster in the dry.. Literally! I ran a PCA event and set TTOD on my 2nd run on the tires when its was actually snowing and raining. Maybe an inch of water on half the track. As the track dried to semi-wet/semi-dry, I got no faster.

Toyo R1-Rs are super grippy but much to soft for the heavy evo at even auto-x, wouldnt use them on track.

Dunlop ZII's are so far kicking butt for the local event but it hasnt been hot enough to really get an idea of heat capacity. I'll be using these for local small autox and track days saving the hoosiers for bigger auto-x events.
