I think I was turning mid-2:50s in my Cayman manual with road tires (Sumitomo HTR-ZIII). The tires held up much better than that! I get 3+ track days out of a set, but they certainly don't have the grip of an R-compound.
Nice job on the tires, love it!

the Sumi's are great tires actually! very surprising for the price. I've been running them for a year or so on the TT (255/35/19 XL) and have been very impressed by the grip/wear properties of them. They do not seem to mind getting hot and the treadwear is great for the performance level. Double the lifespan of the OEM Conti 3's and better ride quality with the same dry & wet grip!Originally Posted by sean

to Darren at the Tire Rack for making the recommendation!
