I haven't used them; but, I know they are used on the track cars used by Texas Driving Experience. That is the company that instructs road racing, etc. at Texas Motor Speedway. The instructors said they like them pretty well and recommended them as worth a try (at least). They run Z06's with headers and CAI (maybe a tune).

I have front on atm with my old worn F1 rears. I'll be swapping the rears this month to the same. Supposedly they have a far better lifespan, better wet, but slightly less performance. They seem ok so far. I'll know better when the rears are on.

You probably have opened a can of worms, in short the Firestone WO's do not get a lot of respect, but I have them on my Z06 and love them. Very smooth and quiet. The grip is great and very responsive to spirited runs. They are also priced very well. That is my $.02.

I've got them in the Z06 sizes on our coupe and so far they are very nice. Better riding than the old Kumho's (maybe they had gotten hard).

Just got a new set of F1SC's, I'll stick with what I know works. My buddy switched to Mich Pilots and has been happy but misses his goodyears.
Run flats... who needs em, I have a bottle of goop and a pump!!!
