I found they aren't AS terrible as I had expected, but not good. Most of my issues have been holding traction under braking... it's really a crap shoot whether they grip, slide, or lock up the wheels and kick on the ABS. I've found they do not hold traction well during steady state cornering and the rebound damping in the rear is what lets the car down when it comes to fast transitions in slaloms. I think the tires have more to give in this regard. The turn in is better than expected but I'm trending to the conservative side of entry speed to prevent mid-corner washout. Putting power down really hasn't been much of an issue, and the lot we use is quite gravely.
Through 2 events this season in my completely showroom car I was back 2.8 (~54 second course) and 1.35 (~49 second course) seconds respectively of last year's detroit region PAX and Pro class champion. He is in a RTR FR-S with a FSB, exhaust, and BFG Rivals. He was 1st on PAX at the opener and 2nd by thousandths on PAX for the second event.
We have not tried swapping cars to really try to figure out the gap between prep and non-prep.
