Used these today at Streets of Willow. First impression is that turn in is quick and warm up time is greatly improved from the previous generation Race H2. It was freezing cold today and I went out on the track without tire warmers. The tires felt a little "light" on the first lap due to the very cold track but after 2 laps they were hooking up awesome! Mid corner stability was rock solid.

I'm still going to race with Pirellis for a while but if I had to make a switch I would be seriously considering these tires :) I have no negatives about the Michelins at all.

If you're going to use these tires remember that the recommended rear tire pressure is 24psi, so I ran that pressure. For the front I ran 30psi.

What Pirellis are you currently using and what pressure are you running them at?

I use the Pirelli Supercorsas and Supercorsa Pro. I usually run around 28-29r/30-31f.
