Hi Dan,

I put a set on today and the first three miles were fine. I'll be driving to
North Carolina from Michigan on Wednesday, April 2nd so if you want my
opinion after a 10 hour drive I'll let you know. I had Bridgestone RE 730's
for 12 months and three track events and I was not impressed with how they
wore on the track. I am hopeful that I have a better experience with the
MX's. I must say that the MX tread has some very large blocks and I suspect
it might become a loud tire over time but I hope they will not chunk as much
as the RE 730 did. The quality of the tire appeared to be great, but I guess
time will tell the true story. You mention the 712's... I would stay away
from the 712's as I think the S6 is too heavy for those tires on the track.
The 712 might be great for everyday driving but I think they would get ruined
quickly on the track unless you put it on something light like an A4 or a
Subaru WRX.
For reference the price I paid for the MX's out the door was $568.
My $0.02
