Anyone have first hand experience with these tires for either street or track day use?

Good tire, probably no longer a "front line" sport tire, but still an excellant choice, especially for the price.

Good tire.
It broke loose on me twice once in the rain (going straight), and once on a hot day. (on the twisties)


Good tire but i'm def. changing tires next time around.
Trying Pilot powers next :confused1

Love those tires, don't last a hell of a lot of miles, but I was never able to break loose the rear. The grip is impressive.

ok let me add a few comparison street tires...

1) Michelin Pilot Power
2) Dunlop 208
3) Pirelli Diablo

The reason I'm asking is that there is a sale on these for $140/set at the end of the month.

I recommend the BT014s... I've been running them at trackdays for 2 years now and they've been great. Hardly ever get any slipage...
