I just put the Trofeos on my GT3. They seem to be somewhat quieter and softer riding than the Corsa Systems I previously had on the car.
I tried them out at the Streets of Willow and they were at least equal to the Corsa Systems. They seemed best at about 34lbs FR and 36lbs RR. Anything close to 40lbs and the tires started to get a little greasy and were sliding a bit.
Not sure of the tire wear as SOW is fairly hard on tires and tread depths look to be slightly more shallow than the Corsa Systems to begin with.
Overall, the tires seem really good and considering they cost less than both the MPSC or Corsa Systems seems like a nice trade off.

Izzone Trakcar would be great but he has Center Lock wheels...bummer....Maybe Deputy Dog will let us both try a few laps on his 19's and he can go out on either one of our 18's...that should give us some idea on how the car feels.

just a quick answer without reading all the thread: I'm from Italy, we use this tire in the Porsche Club Sport, they are not so bad but slower than the P-zero corsa. Plus they last nothing, and after several complains Pirelli will make within february a new P-zero Trofeo named Endurance, with narrower thread and harder compounds.
Performance I don't know.
The trofeo, though short lasting, are better than the Pilot Sport Cup, that with N0, N1, N2 became worse and worse.
Talking of these tires on a good performing 997 GT2.

Robert,
I had to get mine replaced with less than 1200 miles on them (about 3 to 400 track miles and 800 road miles). The rears were pretty much gone with blisters and cord showing on them. I switched back to the Corsa Systems and hope to get a little better longevity than the Trofeos.

After 5 track days and ~ 4000Km my rears look pretty decent still (~30% left). The fronts however are quite horrible. I found that the rears had so much grip that it threw the balance of the car out a bit pushing the front a lot more (instead of having that nice on throttle rotation) resulting in them getting chewed up quickly. I'm still running them for two more days this week then putting a set of MPSC on.
Word on the street is Pirelli is revising the compound right now. A sign?

It is a very grippy tire, much better than the Corsa System. After 300 track miles and about 600 street miles, they have plenty of use left. I would say that they are good for at least another 500 to 600 track miles. I run them at 30 hot. They are also very predictable. The car is a RGT.
