Dry grip is exceptional, temperature window is very wide and the tires need plenty of time to overheat on a trackday. I can not yet comment on wear, but the first 6000km have been excellent. This is a true next generation tire at a very good price point. It is much better suited for the track compared to a continental sport contact 7. Do not be fooled by the 300tw tire. TW does not mean anything anymore.
