They beat re71 and rrr hands down.
Will also last about one day more.
First day they are as grippy if not faster as Pirelli scrubs.

Insane amounts of grip, best lap would be after warmup lap +- 2 laps before they start slowing down. However it's super consistent after.
Did 4X 20-30 min sessions at Club Motorsports in Tamworth NH, and another full open lapping day at Palmer CW. Rotated the wheels left to right in between tracks. Tires were a beast and maintained grip throughout, even when it got to about 92 degrees ambient temp. The car was performing so well with these tires that I almost completed an hour session with 2 five minute pit ins to adjust my LapTimer.
The fronts were completely corded after Palmer, but you could only tell by looking at them. The rears could probably do with one more day. Also these tires definitely look like they can do with more camber. I am currently at -3.2 fronts.

What sizes are you running and are these tracks known for being hard on tires? I have the same outer edge wear issue with Trofeos and -3.2 camber. That's some quality tire use  |
The Goodyear I ran 265/35 and 275/35. But I just replaced the set with Trofeo Rs in 265/35 square. I have to say. Running the tires back to back. The trofeos are less communicative through the wheel, but do squeal to warn you when at the limits. Overall I wouldn't get trofeos again, they are too hard. Wear seems to be better.
Yes those tracks can be brutal.
