If anyone has any feedback on how good these are (or aren't) for our cars, especially in track conditions, I'd be grateful. I really do think the stock F1's are a pretty great tire, but something that lasts a bit longer would be nice as well.
TIA

I have been using MPSS for the last two years now for street driving and Autocross events. They are much better for Autocross than the stock F1 G2's. They are much better for street driving as they work much better in cooler temps and on wet roads than the F1 G2's. The F1 G2's are much better for road course duty though as they will not over heat near as easily as the MPSS (or now the revised version MPS4).
So for track driving I'd recommend not going with the MPS4 and sticking with the F1 G2's. For street and/or autocross I'd say the MPS4's would be a great all around tire for you for those uses. I have 2 seasons of Autocross, 2 track days at Road America (in very cool ambient temps which were low 40's for high temps), and about 14,000 miles of street driving on my MPSS's and I still have probably 1/2 tread left on them. They have been great for tread wear and they actually worked pretty well for Autocross.
This year I've since gotten a 3rd set of 1LE wheels that I had RE-71R's mounted onto for Autocross. So far they are working very well for that!
