One thing I've noticed about high performance sticky tires is, they become hard and slick much faster than "normal" compound tires. When I bought my dearly departed, supercharged Miata NA track and street toy, it came with new-looking Falken Azenis tires. I never knew a Miata could drift like a champ, as long as the tires were old and slippy. Fun, but slow in the turns that way. After one HPDE day on the Falkens, I bought Bridgestone RE-11s and never drifted again.
