Looking forward to your feedback. I've been researching tires, and there's just not one good tire with a good set of compromises like the Nitto NT01 in Z/28 size.

Hoosier recommends 38-40 PSI cold, and estimates 50-52 PSI hot. Let's see if your experience will match these estimates. Since we have the TPMS display, at least it's easy to get reading without having to leave the track and risk cooling the tires before checking temps.

Longevity will be the next question. I have not been able to get reliable data on how much better R7s are compared to R6s in terms of longevity, consistency, and number of heat cycles. R6s are pretty bad.
