For track days, they are on the lower end of "good" tires. Once they get past their comfortable heat range, they get very greasy. They also take quite a bit to cool down to a useable temp. As long as you dont overheat them, they work fine. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
