Same. I compared the Yokos A052 to the AR1 on two different tracks, same size, same wheel, same day. Yokos were 0.5 to 1sec per minute faster. I would not hold my breath expecting CR1s to be faster than AR1. Then again, its possible the AR1 was a learning experience and the CR1 brings in more innovation and they plan to phase out the AR1 if it works, or improve the tire (either gear it towards longevity, or even more raw time).

Also, for those wondering about it. The AR1s are simply too heavy for a low powered car. Corner and exit speed was better than the A052, but down the straigh you bled time like crazy. Check this images (green speed number is AR1s, pink is yoko). So dont be surprised if someone else tells you he is faster on AR1s, if the power is not an issue, they might very well be faster.
