On my sierra I found them to go off after about 6 laps weight being the major factor, my last 2 laps was like driving on ice, with the smaller cars westies, fiesta's etc catching me in the closing laps.
The front nearside had to be replaced twice during the season due to it wearing badly this is down more to the suspension set up being wrong tho, I have 2.75 degrees neg on the front and it needs more as the tyre is wearing a inch wide band in it about an inch from the outside edge.as the tyres rolls over when cornering.
the rear tyres faired much better and will last next season aswell.

I found them to be poor overall although most of the guys in the championship that don't run slicks run them,the rest are on yoko's

I tried 24,25,26psi cold and didn't really find any difference when tested straight after qually they tended to be around 31/32 never really found a pressure that worked better than the others.

My mate was filming so he may have caught it. Because we started in the pits we weren't allowed to take photos from the pit wall so I left my camera in the car
I'll ask him and let you know

It looked seriously cool and reminded me of a couple of moments I had in time attack last year but mine were at higher speed
