Trying something different... these have a higher tread-wear rating than my OEM Goodyear GSA-2s...
I can wear out a set of rear tires in 6-10 months. (damn you horse power).
So, I really want something that lasts for my money. (or that I don't have to install every 5 months).
I tried the Pirelli P7, and wasn't really happy with their cost or how they 'let go' in a slide. It felt like they had grip, grip, then BOOM gone. Vs. the Goodyear's that would slide and slide.
The good news, for testing, is that I'm putting these on. The bad news is I only need 2. so. for a period of time (and yes it's best to put the better tires in rear... blah blah). I'm putting these on the FRONT of my car.
Then, when I wear out the rears in a few... weeks(?) I'll put them on the rear.
So, if anyone is interested, I'll write up what I can from putting these on the front. The tread appears more aggressive than the GSAs, which would be great in PA weather. Friday afternoon it took 4 attempts to make it up my snow covered driveway. I had to turn OFF T/C, feather it to get going, then just punch it and spin all the way up, with steam/smoke pouring off the back end. I did make it though!
