I haven't heard anything but I'm curious as well. That's an interesting tread pattern.

I've heard that these tires are supposed to offer more feedback than the PRC's and PR3-4-5's of last year. The PR's would grip and then let go with very little slippage as warning. |

I loved the front profile of the PRC, great tire, but yeah, Michelins give out with no warning. I tucked the front in T1, I'm sure I did something wrong that caused the front to lose traction but instead of sliding first to let me know I fucked up it was there one second and gone in the next tenth of a second.
I am anxious to try them, I will probably get a set the next time I go to the track, but I don't know when that will be.
