In my case I was going well over 100mph when I realized there were no brakes.
My overall point is that they are not safe. While they may perform, the fact that they just give up at the worst possible moment makes them unsafe, especially for beginners.

Disagree with nearly all of your comments in regards to HP+. Not to question your abilities, but a lot of people don't know how to properly brake. IE: dont drag your brakes, change before too thin, etc, etc. Speaking from experience, as well as others posted here, HP+ can be run very effectively all day without issues. Your problems sound like isolated issues that may not be the resut of the HP+ compound. Feel free to share more details (track, length of run, track temp, lap times, etc) so we better understand your problem.
