Hey, I hope they are a kick ass tire. I just wouldn't run out and buy them right now.

I would like some more feedback as well. I'm curious if it is an appreciably better tire than the Pilot Super Sports. Everyone loved the NT05 and when I tried them I wasn't too keen on them, so I get the feeling I'll eventually have to buy a set and see if I like them. We all have different driving habits that likely favor different tires.

Anyway Dave, what do you care about these new tires. I thought you were busy saving up bubble gum to mold around your wheels for your race car?

Oh I'll probably end up buying a set of these too. They are the sizes I need. I just don't wanna be an early buyer.

I got the gum stockpile all set. And they are WAAYYY cheaper than these things. Just need the 200 TW tires now for those "street car" events. :poke:

Not sure if this guy is connected or not, but at least he is outside of the PT circle. http://www.solomatters.com/2013/02/t...what-it-means/

I was testing with Kyle and Stacy at the very first tests of the Rivals on the auto-x and at Kershaw, these tires are significantly faster than the kdw's and have much better wear. I killed a new set of kdw's over those 2 days and the rivals Kyle was running had better than half the tread left.
