Huge chunks of rubber delaminated from the center of the tread on mine, it's kind of scary really. They stick pretty well though but at the cost of a ridiculously short life. -- Jamie Howton 2000 M5 1995 M3 Hampshire, IL ************************************************* Please help support the E36M3 list by visiting our sponsors: Bimmerworld http://www.bimmerworld.com Turner Motorsport http://www.turnermotorsport.com Eurosport High Performance http://www.eurosporthighperformance.com Rogue Engineering http://www.rogueengineering.com Treehouse Racing http://www.treehouseracing.com Elephant Motorsports Inc. http://www.elephantmotorsports.com DIGEST INFORMATION: http://www.bmw-m.net/resources/digest_info.htm ************************************************* ************************************************* Please help support the E36M3 list by visiting our sponsors: Bimmerworld http://www.bimmerworld.com Turner Motorsport http://www.turnermotorsport.com Eurosport High Performance http://www.eurosporthighperformance.com Rogue Engineering http://www.rogueengineering.com Treehouse Racing http://www.treehouseracing.com Elephant Motorsports Inc. http://www.elephantmotorsports.com DIGEST INFORMATION: http://www.bmw-m.net/resources/digest_info.htm *************************************************

I agree with Jim that they are a real inferior track tire, if someone would be audacious enough to call them that. They work decently well enough for autocross, but absolutley suck for anything other than aggressive street driving or quick autocross runs. Simply put, there are much better tires out there. I'd much rather use RA-1s which I felt provided a similar level of grip, last longer, and plainly don't suck. Drive Safely, Raza - who knew better to switch after 1 set ;)
