Ok new to the team here and I need to update my sig but anyway the Striker on the X3 Sabre works damn good and were very consistant, I did some changes to my car to work with the Striker at Revelation and managed high 31 second laps as the Striker worked when I continued to do changes. They have a solid sidewall for less roll but the tread stays planted so the pins are working and digging in, into the corner its very stable and as the car gets to the middle of the corner the steering shapens more then you can powerout of a corner with good acceleration with slide tail slide. At Rev traction tends to go in certain sections and the Strikers got a little loose but were very predictable. If you wanted the steering you just got off the throttle a little but if you wanted bite you just grab the gas and it my pushed just a tad but the traction was there. There's one jump when you land you got to get turning and the rear would tail slide when you got on the gas, Strickers no just landed it and shot to the next jump as its a round-a-bout double. I like those Strikes, I put down several runs in the sun wet and dry and the tires still look good as Rev tends to angle-edge out tires these have it also but no by much. I marked my tires when I cleaned them so they got no tire rotation to even out the wear, I wanted to see how far they were going to edge-out at the end of the day. A full day of practice from 11am to 5pm and I know I put down at least 12 to 14 runs for the day.

Strikes are pretty good. Thanks VP-Pro this will be my tire for the DNC
