#6) Your review and personal comments (Dry, wet, and snow, if applicable. Also, please compare to other tires used):
Fantastic tire. Very livable for daily driving.
My only "driving in anger" so far was Blackhawk, in the rain. I passed pretty much everything (including a Carrera 4 and Cayman S) and the tires had a huge amount to do with it. Extremely good wet grip even at high speed. Never felt a bit hyrdoplaining even with puddles at nearly 100 mph. As the track started to dry out, they performed similarly amazing. Very responsive and good turn in.
Lots of events in October (3-4 auto-x plus 1-2 days at MAM), hopefully something will be dry and I'll be able to give a better impression.
These are better than the dunlops in the wet, but I'm not convinced they'll be better than the Dulops in the dry.

On the other hand, the RT-615s I had for 2 weeks before sucked balls. They don't like high hp combined with 3300+lb curb weights. These are a miata tire. It hs been massively outclassed by the 1z star spec and the RE01R.
