Kind of a bummer. How do they feel compared to your F1's on the street?
When are you going to the track for the real test?

Exactly. The contact patch is the same total square inches at the same psi no matter what. Perhaps we can lower the psi at the track more the wider the tire is without the tire drooping too much?
I don't know how they compare to F-1's yet. It was rainy here this morning, so I could spin freely no matter what tires I had. (The tire shop appreciated the parking lot burnout though. Nothing like doing a burnout before the tires have even 1" of forward driving on them!!!!! )
They felt pretty comfortable and stable, but I just took off Pirelli snow/ice tires. I can't really compare to the F-1's, which I took off last Thanksgiving.
I hope to go to the track next Tuesday for opening night. I'll post any 60' times I record. That should be the real teller. No differences on my car since October other than tires.
