Richard West won the STS class at the Pro Sola Finale with Falken Axenis on
his Subaru.
He came in a very close third at Nationals on the same tires despite what
the results say (I was cleaning tires between runs for him).
They, like so many current high performance tires, don't look like "rain
tires" <grin>. However, the tread compound didn't seem to pick up rocks
like an R compound, (let alone like Hoosier R25 slicks!). The hardest part
about cleaning them was those darn fenders getting in the way.
