Has anyone tried a set of Goodyear Eagle RS tires out on the track?

If so, any pros/cons as compared to other DOT track tires you've used, Hoosiers, BFGs, Kumhos, etc.?

I havent seen a good review of them yet. I suspect these will be decent track tires. What I have observed with other good year race tires is that ultimate gip may not be similar to Hooiser but Good Years seem to heat cycle better than Hoosiers in general when comparing similar compounds. This tire would be similar to R6 Hoosier.

Suspect these Good Years will be similar to the BFG R1 DOT R. I love the BFG R1 DOT R tires - they last a much longer time than R6, great feel, heat management is excellent.

If youre looking for top performing DOT R tire definitely consider BFG R1.
