I bought a set. @jalquiza is also trailblazing these tires. I'll be getting a fresh alignment before putting them to the test over two days at Laguna Seca in a few weeks. Hoping they're decent on the street, consistent on track, and have a stiffer sidewall than other street tires.

Tires are mounted. Should get ~3hrs of track time on these this weekend.

I did 103 laps at Laguna Seca, and ~350 miles of street driving so far on the AD09. Stock Evora 400.

On track, they held up well. I could push for about half of a 20min session before getting a little greasy, but they never fell off a cliff and remained consistent (note: it was hot one day at Laguna with highs around 88-91F). I was experimenting with pressures and these seemed happy around 31F/33R hot. I was seeing too much rollover when I dropped the pressure much further, notably on the fronts.

Street manners are good so far. At freeway speed I don’t notice a significant change in cabin noise. I do notice the stiffer sidewall when going over expansion joints/sharp bumps in the road compared to PS4S.

I got a fresh alignment beforehand:
