They have good manners but can get a bit greasy in extended sessions (but most do). Price is fairly favorable too - can get a set of 275/35/18s for between 800.00 & 1000.00. To me they are a good choice for a fun tire. Would be awesome if Nitto updated them and were able to make them faster while keeping the same durability & consistency.

You are convincing me to try them next year. After all, it's a not a big deal if you are a second off the pace in HPDE - the fact they don't heat cycle out as easily is much more helpful.
I guess if you want to time trial every so often, it's a different story..
