i went michelins. i thinki have a good feel on tires. id suggest the michelins are maybe yes a smidge faster. but its so hard to tell.
as far as longevity, i usually get good lap times for like 2,3 x 30minute test sessions and then they sort of fall off a bit and hover right there at that lesser state.
i dont put 3 hours on a set. but maybe 4,5 x25/30minute sessions max.
for gent drivers, i see no way any of could tell or utilize 100% of the difference.
and for me, its 500/set cheaper. gta3. no brainer.

Cool- good to know. Sounds pretty similar to the Pirellis. Great for about 2 or 3, then fall off a little - maybe like 0.5 sec a lap but stay there for several more cycles. I may try these next time. I have to work out the sizes though because my 996R is a little unique.
