Just wanted to see what ppl on ia think about these tires. Personally own or know someone that has them. Im thinking about putting them on my 15's with a 205/50/15 size. Thanks in advance!

they are very much liked in the track day circle for being incredibly heat and abuse resistant (for a street tire). Ultimate grip should be on par (or just slightly off) of the RT615s. I don't think autocross people like them as much since 1. their sidewalls aren't too stiff, 2. they seem to perform better when they get some heat in them. I think they're being phased out soon, I personally plan to get a bunch when I see them on sale on tirerack (they tend to have the best deals on MXs, from what I've seen, sale or not). I don't think you can go wrong with the MXs for a good deal/high grip tire.

They are goot tires unless you have a highhp car- My mother in laws vette has some ecstas and she can smoke them at half throttle.

Probably smokes off R comps too. Doesn't mean much.
They are a very good tire. Used them as my track tires last season for 1 event. Worked great.
