I originally tried them kind of by chance - ordered the NT01s from DTD, but they called and said they were out of stock, so they'd give me the Z214s for the NT01 price (which at the time was something like $25 cheaper, so that was nice).

I've been very happy with them. I've run them at VIR with temps in the 40s and with temps in the 90s. I didn't do a very good job of keeping track of how many days I got out of them - I think I did 6 days (3 HPDE events) on them? And now that I think back, I had to retire 2 of the tires early due to outer shoulder wear - the other 2 tires I kept and still have. Keep in mind this is on a ~4000# car running the same 275/35-18s that people are talking about running on their little WRXs/STIs.
