Tire was grippy on track (dry), tolerated heat well, but heat cycled extremely quickly. Got 3 days of track on them. 4th day had no grip at all—wouldn't have run a 4th day, had I known prior to arrival at track. Overall, good and fast tire, but extremely short life. Higher resistance to heat than RE-71RS and even more so than CR-S. Marginally faster than both too, but expensive and needs replacing too frequently for most.

| Tire | Season | On the market since | TR Score |

New tires take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
I do about 15 track days per year in my dual duty F80 M3 with 295/30-18 square tires on 10.5x18. I'm advanced solo.
On Saturday I tried the TAPs at my home track of Lime Rock Park. It was a disappointment. The tires had 5 prior heat cycles at Watkins Glen, including an overnight "cure period" (one session one the first day, then 4 sessions on the second day.)
At WGI the tires were comparable to the RE71RS in terms of pace (similar theoretical ~206.5) and heat tolerance. Saturday at LRP felt like I was driving on heat cycled tires. The first session was meh and the grip got progressively worse. Weather was low 70's and sunny. I tried cool down laps and fiddling with pressures, but nothing helped. Meanwhile, back in steamy August I pounded on the RE71RS all day and was still able to consistently lap sub 60 seconds. See AIM solo snips below. Also, you can see me sliding around in the vid linked below.
The construction of the Hoosiers feel stiffer which provides quicker response/feedback on initial turn-in compared with the RE71RS. They feel good under braking. No squirm (probably due to the shallow tread depth). They don't make a lot noise at the limit.
The RE71RS sidewall roll on my outlaps until tire pressure builds. Not as bad as the AO52 though.
