So, this last weekend I got the R11s on. I'm thoroughly impressed. Granted, I've been riding on Alpha 13s for about a year and a half. We were running with the chicane at PIR this weekend, so I can't really compare laptimes, but my confidence was *way* up. I typically have barely been touching my right knee down, and this weekend that changed. At this rate, I'll be needing a new set of sliders before the end of the year. I was able to harass and even get in a couple passes on 2 people I normally would lose if I made more than one mistake. I ran the 140 rear and had zero chicken strips there. About 3/8" chicken strips on the front. I was running ~26psi front and 28 rear. The fast guys on the same tire (although one opted for a 150) were running in the 32/30 range, but when I tried that in practice I couldn't keep heat in the rear.
