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.

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/

Good post. That's a good start.

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.
