Comment:
I used these on my drift/track car, and yes I know many won't see the point, but having had many years experience in instructing on track, track etiquette, super cars experience and drifting techniques and coaching. I am aware of the difference between road tyres, track biased and racing slicks. These by no means are either of the latter but ultimately if you prefer the predictability of a road tyre and good overall performance then I'd recommend these. Good dry/wet grip and reasonable wear. I would say these would be better on a lighter car. My E36 328 sport is fully stripped with a cage, it handles and out performs my E46 M3 I owned and tracked for 8 years. Having come across many E46 M3s & many other performance cars on track cornering ability was strong, keeping up and overtaking many of those cars (I also did get overtaken by a few, buty ego is check and I'm no issue with that) with these tyres on UK tracks and at Spa Francorchamps / Nurburgring this year (2019). They will heat up and you will find the limits of these, so if you like abusing your car on track lap after lap for 10+ laps in 30*C temps without a break, then get slicks or track comps but if you have some mechanical sympathy then I'd recommend these Sunny's.
Overall a good option for the road and possibly track/drift if you have a lighter car. And don't mind a softer sidewall.
I will be buying these again and hope this info helps someone.
Thanks
