My kid literally drools over them.

He also thinks that anyone who whines about how loud they are is a cry-baby. ;-)

I think you'll like them too. They wear at least as well as the Toyo RA-1. Probably not the best autoX tire as they seem need to build up some heat to stick.

I have not put enough mileage on them on the street, but figure you can get 10,000 miles on them, unless you're into smokeshows and donuts.

How are they in the event you get caught in the rain? I might look into these after my BFG KD's wear out.

LOL, a Michilin baby.

I used the A032's and yes they were loud and it took a burnout or two to make them stick. I think I got 10-15k mi on them with mostly street. I would say they are the type of tires you want if you have a seperate set of dedicated track only wheels. Nitto also has a tire to consider as well http://www.nittotire.com/tires_nt01.asp

prepare for sweet, sweet road noise.

in the rain, they werent too bad. i used these tires for track/street use for a few months and didnt experience any scary moments - then again they were relatively new. once they wear down though, just be a little cautious.
