A road racer did a back to back test and posted the results on the PCA magazine
last year. If I remember correctly, he did not test them against Hoosiers, but
were much faster than the other track tires he tested. I can dig up the issue
and report back if anyone is interested. The tires have been available for PCA
members for a while now, but they just made it available to the general public.
A local PCA member has been running them on his DE 996 cab, but he is a
relative novice driver so its hard to say if the tires are fast. I think he
was getting good wear from them though.
I think from the tests that he did, the shaved set was over .5 second faster
per lap.
