Tires had less than 2000 miles (easy miles). As I said, they were 3 years old. I have to think it was age related because the disappointment was significant.
DDim are you talking street or track? Street you couldn't get my kind of heat into a tire if you tried! Tires are gummy bears after a session. To me they were definitely not worth the cost. I've had Sumitomo HTRZIII's that resisted become greasey as well as these tires. No joke. I pushed the stockers on my 04 STi (Bridgestone RE070's I think) hard enough to yank chunks out of the tread and they maintained grip.
