Query for you guys running GTB1 Caymans- are you on Pirelli slicks? Can you give me a an idea regarding wear, heat cycles, etc. relative to Hoosiers?

Pirelli DH's work very very well, and aren't really comparable with DOT Hoosiers. They last a long time if you aren't brutal on tires, and have figured out alignment & pressures using a pyrometer. Under these circumstances, they will cycle about the same as a Hoosier, in my experience. But they grip a LOT better...except in cold weather

^^Thanks. Seems to be the consensus based on my brief research. Should be fun.
