They can sub 1.4 in the 60ft but when I used to run them as a daily tyre they’re a bit average cold. They shine best with 20psi, 1,2,3 burnout coming out the water box then it’s like Chit to a blanket from the launch. That said if you’re going a track minded tyre it’s best to step up to something better like a M&H but then never intend on using them on the street For a street vehicle with bigger power you’ll always get better tractability from a low wear rating tyre like Michelin PS4’s, Bridgestone RE03’s for that best hook when rolling on and next to no temperature from daily duties #JustSayn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and also in my experience the last 20% worth of tread on the Michelin's is useless once there 80% worn it's time for a new set... There OEM tyre for my merc and have noticed the same on that a C63s makes 315-320 stock and the last 20% of the tyres life it's skate city Spot on. 400+rwkw on my ute with the Michie Pilot Sports. 1st gear is on wastegate spring, but 2nd and up is all in. They hold on very well. Worth it if you want power and traction. Gotta pay to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the "get expensive tyres because grip" thing before... But I ended up being just as reckless with them as the cheap ones, just took a bit more foot brake to light them up 🤣 I will never be able to justify the $400+ a piece or whatever the fk the price is on good tyres. I'ma stick to my fk510's on the front and the cheapies on the back 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
