you cna get vredesteins for similar money and they're pretty much better in every way...

Which ones? I dont think the ultracs come in the smaller sizes

F1 GSD3 for the road (apparently they are brilliant for wet and dry weather, but MELT on track!),

They dont melt on the track at all. infact they faired miles better than pirellis i had before, on those, the tread rolled off the tyre and filled in the groves!

What I dont understand is everyone is saying these toyos lasted 6k, 6k..... REALLY? how the hell do you drive? Toyos are supposed to last longer than Goodyear Eagles. Ive had these (goodyears) 10k, and 150miles on track and i still have groves on the outside edges. Im guessing you guys wheel spin everywhere? Dont you know thats slower?

F1s are spanking tyres. My Swift has them on, and I'd say they're rather good. Slightly better than the Falken FK452s on my CTR (only slightly mind).

Excellent dry weather grip, pretty okay in the wet too.
