I think their a good all round tyre. Their quiet, have good grip in wet and dry conditions, and have a reasonable life if looked after. But like you said, not much chop on the track. Actually, running a 18" rim on the back is really no good for drag racing. Better with 14 - 17 inch wheels running tyres with higher sidewalls. Unfortunatley for those that run brembos, thats not an option.
