Wonder what kinda mileage/passes on these you can get.

They look to have about half the life of a 555r. judging on the ratings. Sticky compound for better grip than the 555r, but the 555r still has the longer life from the temperature specific compound.

After some thought I don't know if I will go to the new compound or not. traction is not a huge issue with me at this time. With the stall and the tune I got from Wes@TPS I get a firm 1-2 shift but not so hard it breaks the tires loose. That was not the case before. With the old tune the 1-2 shift still spun the tires pretty hard, leaving the line was a dead hook with a good burn out. Will just have to see after my next mods (bigger cams).
