Interesting. I had re-11a's prior in 205/225... And i cut five seconds off a lap with 225/245 trofeo r's. Now, i probably gained some power, and lost some weight... But from 1:27 to 1:22 easy. Even if 2-3 of those seconds are tire... That is huge.

The question is how long can the tires hold those kinds of gains? I am thinking they are like slicks... Huge gains, but at a cost. Physics and chemistry wins. Everything at a cost. I will know more the next time I am out. They were a second off the pace after 18 cycles... But i don't feel i was recording my fastest laps.
