I tried them and wasn't that big of a fan. Good at Calabogie since it is so abrasive.

Slippery at the Glen on the concrete. Not bad at LCMT but noticeably slower than Cups or Corsas. They just don't have the same grip.

Slicks are great if you can stomach the 6 heat cycles they last.

Tried 'em all and I like Cups the best overall when cost/longevity is considered.

I'm still a big fan of the Sport Cups. Last pretty long and are sticky. I also like the R888's but I seem to be a minority.
I've only heard good things about the Nitto's.
Another 6GT3 on E88's.
It's gonna be a fun season!
