Personnally I did not like them. On my car they were slow and wore really fast (315/335 18's).

I'm faster with Conti's ECF and they last a lot longer.

On my local track
AR-1 : 1min54
ECF : 1min52
R7 :​​1min49

To be fair my first time on this track was with the AR-1 so there is also a learning curve, but the car felt oversteery and tire were toast in 2 days.

What pressures were you running? I have 17 HC's on mine and 5/32'' remaining. Grip was still there last time I was out, but falling off faster now (2 laps or so).

I just ordered some new gen CRS for front and Supercar 3R for rear. Will be at Mosport on the 27th and plan to run the CRS/3R combo as well as AR1s on the same day.

Cheers

I was running 34-35 psi hot. Maybe this was too much.

The track I run on is very abrasive (Oregon Raceway Park)

My local track is insanely abrasive as well. I was usually targeting 30-31 hot. I read mixed answers, some like them up around 35 and some as low as 30. For me personally, 30-31 was best.
