By the way, anyone seriously interested, there is a thread on SCCAforums where a guy in a fully prep'd M Coupe is soliciting co-drivers for Nat'l events.
No, I have not considered them yet. None of our local hotshoes run them, so I haven't gotten any good feedback. We have something like 6 or 8 national champions in Arizona, and they're a good resource for this sort of thing. That's how I ended up on Goodyears. Brian Peters won FS this past year on them. When I ran the 285 A6s, I was buying Doug Rowse's take-offs from his DSP car. Since he had a garage full of tires won on contingency, he'd unload them once he put about 20 runs on them.
