Grant,
Larry Sharp ran them on his '74 Carrera 2.7RS last season. And you can see how he did with them. Check the GGR website for his results.

They are supposed to be fantastic...
Wait, they are fantastic. Larry Sharp run's 'em. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
They last all year, too.

I may try them after the Kumho 710's. I think the 710's rate the best and are pretty afordable considering how long they last.

Are these the R's or RA's?

In name only, believe me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

running a 30-60 treadwear slick with two grooves is nothing like the treadwear420 tires on mom's sedan.

the Rs are $119
The RAs are $164

I still think I am going to use the Yoko A032Rs...I have used them before and feel comfortable with them. May give up a little in ultimate grip...but I know they will last an entire season. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
