RZ data point for 'full sized' cars - 4100lbs, 325/30/19 on 19x12. Good suspension and medium aero. This tire is very fast, but is a autocross or TT special on the first flyer then starts slowing down by about 1s / lap. It is faster than my Nankang CRS and Vitour P1 times significantly.

4 targa tracks (MSR, Hallett, Hedge Hollow, ECR) 1200 transit miles, 1 national TT event (2 days) and a couple of other track sessions.
A little thin on the shoulders due to camber and wheelspin. 2-3/32 most other spots.

"on the first flyer then starts slowing down by about 1s / lap. It is faster than my Nankang CRS and Vitour P1 times significantly."


Meaning three laps in it is 3 seconds slower per lap?

Is it still faster than Nankang CRS and Vitour P1 (by the way Vitour has a new tire coming out this summer, the Sonic) after getting several laps on it?
