    I've driven it, not as hard as he does, but it does hold on very well. For being a street tire at the price point it is, no complaints here grip wise.
    The outer shoulder design does lead to some uneven tread wear tho which could lead to some road noise.
    Would look into a tire with a more solid/wider outer tread block design
    Stock engine Fox equipped with the Maximum Motorsports catalog. Now I have lots of Trick Flow stickers.

    Don't have to worry about that, my newest helmet has earmuffs built in so driving on track is a rather serene audio experience for me now.

    My brother in law has Indy's on his boosted 05. No curvy experience but I can tell you they hooked hard when he launched in a straight line.

    I didn't notice them being loud but that's because he runs long tubes, no cats and S type mufflers. He likes it loud!
