They are a great tire for competition use in the ST* classes. I have no idea how they work as actual street tires. My guess is that they will be a bit loud (especially after getting a bit worn), and their wet traction will decline quite rapidly in short order.

See the wisdom of asking here... Driving around on a comp tire? That'd be a disaster. I had never heard of that tire, I just thought it was another in bridgestone's endless series re040, re050's.
