So mine are still holding up well after 6 track days / 9-10hr, including street driving to and from the track and occasionally work -- making up about 2100mi. I estimate I can get another day or two out of them.
I actually really like them as they are consistent after they come up to temp and stay consistent for the remainder of the session, which is really nice for Arizona weather where most tires require cool down laps and fall off after mid session. I probably wouldn't like them in a cooler climate.
Anyhow, does anyone know where to get ahold of another set? There are these: https://shop.hoosiertire.com/index.p...-ec-dr-st.html but they are expensive enough that I may as well just go RC1 or NT01 so I can class in time attack locally, rather than the for-time-only class.

So I moved on to a set of NT01s after these and the NT01 has more grip, more feel, is more forgiving / less edgy, and comes up to temp quicker buuuuut... they do not handle heat nearly as well and they wear a lot faster. There is something to be said for how well the TD hard compound works in 100*+ weather with 30 minute sessions, it only got quicker, where as the NT01 will overheat and takes a few corners to come back.
I think the NT01 will last half the time of the TD based on wear from yesterday.
This has 2.5hr / one day on it
