So...anyone have any experience with these tires? I'll be in the market for new R-Comps soon, and I am debating whether to get another set of RA-1's or try the Michelins. This is just for track days, so the stickiest R-comp isn't my priority (I don't need Hoosiers). Basically I want something that's stickier than a regular street tire, but will still last through 10 track days. The RA-1's have lasted pretty well, but they seem to have pretty soft shoulders and I get a lot of wear on the outer edges. I had Kumho V700's before, and they didn't show nearly as much wear on the edges, but overall they wore out quickly.

So are the Michelins worth the extra $$? Any other suggestions?
