I've not seen the tread wear number yet, but I believe they're sticky. So likely to be soft.
I guess you can't have long lasting tyre wear and good grip, it's either one or the other.
If they turn out to be good and i'm sure they will be, they'll soon shoot up in price when everyone starts buying them.
Like the R888 used to be, they were pretty reasonable 5+ years ago untill they became so popular.
I believe they're E marked, so they can be used on the road. Not that you'd want to in anything other than bone dry weather lol.
I agree, they look awesome!
Don't forget that track tyre widths are 'usually' wider than their stated size, so a 195 tyre can sometimes actually be 205 in width.
Get some of the new Nankang AR-1 so you can tell us all what they're like :wink:
Seen them for £70 a tyre and i've 'heard' they're a little bit quicker than DZ03G in testing in Italy.

For a weld in you would need to strip out the interior ideally, so you don't set fire to anything when welding.
Bolt in would be more practical and you can have it powdercoated before installation, a weld in cage would be painted in situ.
