I had only heard good things too, thats why I purchased them. Maybe they don't work as well on heavier cars.
Actually, I had an issue the last time I was at the track here in Korea with my E46 which wears 225/245 Dunlop Z1 SS's.

My front tires got super greasy on my first run. Then my front end would vibrate on a long right hand turn. I had to slow down a lot. This started happening about 10 minutes into my run.

After the session, the tread on my front tires were melting off, bad. The tread blocks are no longer flat.

Then they were fine on my second run, when it was 20 degrees hotter out and I was driving much faster.

Not sure if it was a track or tire issue? There was a LOT of junk and debris on the track.
