Just remember to be smooth...the more you attack, they more the tires will slide, causing damage to the tread block. I'll be curious to see what you think as I usually use a DOT R compound tire and don't have a lot of track experience with street tires; only what I witness as an instructor (I've brand new tires gone in one track day!)
This is my first HPDE and I have to ride with an instructor so I'll try to just concentrate on smoothness and driving technique. This will hopfully be a better way to break them in over the herky jerky movements and quick transitions of most autocrosses. I'm only going to do one 20 minute lap session and classroom time instead of all day long so I can just get my feet wet. It is only going to cost $55, all day long is $225 and five 20 min sessions. Like Ekam mentioned the tread blocks are on the bigger side and look robust so well see what happens!
