Don't know. Friends have hit or miss like Onemoremod says. Some are still sticky some are a waste of money.

They had 1-2 heat cycles and "they would get most HPDE guys through a season," but since my last post, I decided they aren't worth it. For $250-500 more, I can get a new set of good street tires, which will allow me to actually be able to correct oversteer rather than go SOL if I were to reach the threshold of grip (or whatever you'd call it) with racing tires.
If any of y'all want them, I can provide the guy's contact info. $35/tire plus shipping. Located in NC.

Contributing factor, yes. But I don't plan on going 80+ MPH in a 40 zone in public without traction control. They would be strictly for autocross/drift events, where I can practice car control in a safe environment.
I wish it was legal to burn rubber in an empty parking lot.
