R6 is a great tire for a very experienced driver on a well developed suspension. A good choice for National Time Trial competition. You will get tons of grip and they will probably be gone in two weekends. On stock suspension the R6 tires will be corded in a few hours at the track.

My $0.02 worth... My first consideration for tires was "where I live". If I lived in Phoenix or San Diego, I would have gone with summer tires. I live in Ohio. It rains and snows here... a lot some times. So I went with all seasons, Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Did I sacrifice dry weather performance? Yes. But I extended my driving season and I can drive the car in the rain without worrying about every ditch I see.
My thoughts.
