We had an open track format and this was my last run where I basically ground down my brake pads to the metal. I still managed to clock some respectable laps on the Hankook tires that I was reluctant to run on track. The tires hooked up for the most part, they were very communicative, and they tolerated heat well. It's a great tire for those on a limited budget. After the track day there was plenty of tread life left and they look like they'll handle at least 3 track days possibly 4 plus street miles.
