I bought these tires as old stock manufactured 4-5 years ago. Available from Maxxis direct for just $59.95 per tire. That's less than half the price of most 200TW tires. Are they any good? Despite being 4-5 years old, they compare favorably to 200TW tires of that era. I have lap times in equivalent cars that show the performance is about the same as an NT05, RE11A, RT615K, etc. No, they aren't nearly as fast as the new autocross-focused tires. However, they are a good budget 200TW endurance tire. On track, I like a loud tire for audible feedback. These are sort of quiet even when pushed hard. That's the only downside. I haven't tried them in the rain.

Feed back: Bought these tires for a Champcar race in the states which helped sponsored some of theevent. If your car podiumed, they sent you a few tires. ANyways we took the chance and podiumed and Won overall for Class C. The tires are responsive, fun, new. But once you get them really worked in a hot, they loose a bit of time. Some slight understeer Entry-Apex-exit. Not much over steer expereinced in the BMW 318ti. Would i buy or reccomend...Hmm, for the champcar series, I would reccomedn for a lighter car, not for a heavier. Other than that, they were a cheaper tire to try. Other are better for sure. But for the price, and a smaller car, they would be great for you on the track for a begginer's tire.
