Interesting a new ultra high performance tyre coming out this month reputedly

Didn’t really improve over the AR1 here

I've gone for a set of 4 of these, reputation in the USA is great - supposed to be slightly quicker than the AR-1 over the course of multiple laps and a lot more predictable in the wet.

Not sure when they're due in the UK, mine are on preorder but haven't heard when they'll be available for pick-up

They also offer some useful information on "best practice" for scrubbing them in prior to use on circuit.

It's amazing how much information the likes of Nankang and Toyo offer on their track tyres .... I really can't understand why the most established brands fail in this respect.

I would like to see : Rolling circumference / weight / tread depth / optimum tyre pressure ranges / scrubbing in .... from all of them. I was surprised to see when asking Continental about the Sportcontact 7 how much lighter their ND0 rated 325/30-21 was than their non N rated version.

I'd like to understand what changes Porsche do to make with the N rating. It would be interesting to appreciate what the differences are
