priobe,

Interesting set of answers; just what you would expect on ClubCobra

I took off the Michelins last year and put on Nitto NT05s ( note: no R - that is a track tire, not a street tire and as such has much worse wear and wet characteristics). The NT05s have been fine in the dry and good in the wet. The Michelins were treacherous wet or dry. These are waaay better. Almost as good on the track as my Victoracers.

They are starting to show wear after about 1,000 miles plus one track day. They are reportedly better than the Kumhos in the wet. When these go, I will get the same thing again.

Happy hunting,

Tom
