However, on the street I'm not sure you'd gain anything over an RE-71R or any of the other high end EHP street tires unless you're *really* pushing on the roads you drive. I would also think that these, like most r-comps, will heat cycle out and harden up rather quickly with street use and therefore would lose a lot of grip over their life. In any case I have been wanting to try a set out but the only street miles they would ever see would be to and from the track until the very end of their life.

We definitely need someone to stack these up in terms of lap times vs re-71r and nt-01/r888!
