i've driven the goodyear on a variety of racing conditions.
with a mostly stock vette at atco, i cut a 1.88 short time. that is pretty nuts for a normal tire. it was in a c5 that i took to 12.8.
i autocrossed on this tire in a 02 WS6 and it handled very well; high limits. I'm used to racing on R compounds so to say that i was impressed with this non-R compound is saying a lot.
At pocono, my buddy in his c5 (same one as atco) was racing with me on the track in the pouring rain. i mean monsoon conditions. I was on potenza re71 tires. the re71's are great in the dry, and i smoked him in the dry, but in the rain, i could not keep up. those goodyears rocked in the rain. So when i'm getting my next set of normal high-po street tires, i'm getting them.
