      I am running them in the front (Drag Radials in back)
      Well, you can find test results online, they are not THE best Autocross tire out there, but in my opinion, they are the best for the money. In fact, my best bud hung a set on his car yesterday on my recommendation.

      Sidewalls are too soft, they flex under hard cornering. Plus due to the tread design, they dont last that long...

      The Kumho Ecsta XS is a better tire and similar in price. Neither are all that fun in the rain.

      These will be going on a non daily driver, not in the rain ,making just under 700 HP. Are the kumhos as sticky ??? Looking at the 345s.

      I'm running these on the rear and like them on the street and the little bit of track time I've had. I bought them on the recomendation of a buddy running these on a GT500 with about 600whp, they were almost a second faster than the same sized (315/35/20) NT05s he replaced.

      Like was said already these are NOT made to go around corners!! Said buddy above went through the set in about 10 laps of a little 2 mile road course... Took the outer tread edges right down to the cords!

      Dry street driving and straight line track I would highly recomend them, just not racing around corners...
