Looks promising.

Be interesting to see how they work.

I'd rock them. They have to be better than the OEM BT016's

Id hope so. Im on the aftermarket bt016s and they still take a little longer than Id like to warm up and slip quite a bit til they do.

But be comparable to an aftermarket 016s.

I spoke to my Parts Unlimited rep about these. He said that these are going to fall between the 2CTs and the Power One's (which are the DOT race). Great for canyon carving and track days. As for the people who live down here in FL, they will only wind up costing us more money, due to lack of any turns and softer front tire, except on the track, so they will make great track day tires for us flat landers. Plus due to the lack of tread pattern they wont make good for our rainy summers.

Doesn't look any different in concept from the 2CT. Unless it's lighter than the 2CT, which would be an advantage (noticeable or not).
