Not as sticky as hoo hoos of course, but they sure as shit last forever. Bonus is they are CHEAP too, and if your an SCCA member they provide a 10% discount as well (talking UNDER $900 shipped for SCCA members for a set of 265/35/18s).

I'm very strongly considering them for next year myself
Running NT-01's now and they are a good option. Like you said, going for even more grip with Hoosiers.

Enjoy
