<< So if you've driven with these tires, I'd be curious to hear about the
 conditions under which you drive them. How much does your car weigh?
 Anti-sway bar, yes? Autocross vs. track? If the track, do you have any
 serious elevation change, or is it all flat? SIR is counterclockwise (the
 way we run it), has elevation change, and has turns that just wear the right
 front tires down to the bone.

Driven on these on a 944 Turbo, an M3, and a 924S.  All were good - not as 
good as Hoosiers, but still very good.  Still have the same set for the last 
few years.  Nice tires, good wear characteristics, good in the rain.  You did 
something wrong, or there was something wrong with your specific set (ie, you 
probably did something wrong).

No offense, but a LOT of people use these and are happy with them.  About 
every other car at BMWCCA schools run them, no problems other than not the 
ultimate grip of a RS Hoosier or Goodyear GS-CS (what I'm running now.)  I 
still have my A008RS's, and they're still going - after 20 plus track days 
and seven years.

Later!
