Anyone have experience with these ?
HUGE in Europe and I guess they're making a run for the States.

Specifically the Sessanta.

Supposedly 20% thicker sidewall which puts more rubber on the pavement for better traction and cornering. Plus that design means it's NON directional, which is amazing itself for a UHP tire. And the cost is VERY appealing to the wallet. I might be a guinea pig for these come SILV track day.

That is very good. Maybe for my next set of tires. If you do get a set, post up a review of them. I'm really curious.

I really think I'm going to get these. I've yet to read negatives on them.
Some of the C5 Z06 guys are running them at the track and like them better than the Goodyear F1 supercups and all the Toyo lines.
In Europe they outperform the majority of other tires so I don't see how there's a difference, unless there's some US requirement on manufacturing.

They look so crazy and the price\reviews are good so what else is there ?

Any more reviews or testimonials?

The prices sound alright.

How 'cool' they look means very little to me(almost nothing) in comparison to performance, tire life, etc.

Cooper tires look cool....but perform for shit. Looks are completely pointless in tire design to me. It's nice bonus, but not what I'm looking at in a tire...

Looks like this dude has pretty decent prices for them up on eBay:

All of these are from 1 seller (cleanin out the garage). nearly 2600 feedback with 99.7% positive.

I looked at their ebay store and as it turns out they are in Canoga Park (about 15 minutes away from me).

And they "welcome pick-ups".

I may give them a call and see if I can get a look at them.
