If PAX is more important to you, it is NEVER right, never even close, 1st couple years for any new class. So, don't run the class if it is.

At that, Falken is only on a 1 year commitment. May have a different tire next year if there are more than average complaints. It goes to show how much better "street tires" have come over the years. I'd love to take this tire, go back in time, and pit them against the old RT215s that I won STX on in 2003.

Agree with the above. I think the purpose and people the class is attempting to aim at is correct.

Also with the following stated:

Yep. On BFGs we were running with mid & upper-mid STX. Now either being raw'd by ES or barely edging out.

On the flip side, spent a ton of time with setup today. Over 30 runs on abrasive concrete just today. Probably 60ish total. Falkens are barely worn. Would easily be flipping BFGs.
This sounds like the right tire with the intent of the class.
