Purchased tires to race in the SSM class. Compared to the SM7's there is minimal drop in grip and a huge improvement in the life of the tire. These tires will last almost the entire race season.
I will add that the customer service at Simple Tire was awesome and the shipping was fast. I received my tires in just two days!

Cuts time about four to five seconds and grips the road great. The next best thing to a full fledged race slick!

Honestly these are track tires. They wear down not too fast, but faster than most. They're soft and they can grip on a turn. I'd compare them to P Zeros for half the price.
