Some interesting information coming out of that testing

Fun times last weekend. Z2s were great on my car.

Awesome. Thanks! Can't wait to hear more.

Nice job with the testing!

Black Tire · 03-22-2013, 10:05 PM

Great stuff! Any guess as to which would be better for full track lapping and HPDE?

redcelica · 03-23-2013, 01:33 AM

tread design on the rival's are interesting to say the least. I'd like to see some comprehesive wet and dry testing before committing. I have star specs on the S and they are a phenomenal tire both dry and wet. Better in cooler weather than the RS3 as well.

This is the reason I went with the Z2 as well. Here in WI our early and late season can be cool, and sometimes damp.

any updates?

A facebook page is inefficient for the comparison. My Z2s have performed excellent through 12 track sessions.

They sold their FRS and switched to Miata. I stopped watching the page after that.

RehabJeff86 · 07-08-2013, 09:52 PM

Any idea whats the heat cycles for Rival, MPSS, and Z2 ??
