A bit squirmy in the corners, but they held up well to some constant grief, did 3 full laps on the trot and they were still ok on the 3rd. The wear was a lot more even than I expected, thought they would have ragged the nsf, but looked ok to me.
In summary, a very good all rounder if you want to run with one set of tyres only and they will outlast the cups - but at the cost of lap time. Did it make the trip less enjoyable? No, was still lapping fast enough to enjoy it and they actually taught me a couple of things about different lines, the cups grip level can be a bit flattering if you're not bang on the line.

30 seconds is a massive difference!
Were there any other changes?
Weather, suspension, 2.0TDI swap....
