Just ordered some of these (for the price, why not) and I'll report back. Autocross, heavy daily duty, and lots of backroading. They are 205/50's on 15x7 Konig Rewinds. I know, not the best size wheel but it's what I have for now. I'm really just hoping for a lot more braking performance, but my biggest braking issue is FM Stage 1 suspension making the ABS kick in early when coming off the throttle and straight to the brakes hard (so lots of autocross situations). I'll post alignment specs also. Need to redo mine.

Also where do the AVON non-dot slicks fall on that list? If you needed to do 1 stupidly fast lap the extra stiff construction and hill climb compound tire is about 2 seconds faster than the softest hoosier Rxx non-dot slick, but they'd probably be over heated by the 2nd lap. But where do the more reasonable for road racing compounds fall?

Spoolin2bars and I ran some Michelin SB9, Viper Cup take offs at HHR in 2011. They were very well behaved and had tons of grip. We ran Viper Cup fronts 275? on 18x10's. They had so much grip that they were messing with the Torsen T2R and tripping out the traction control computer, even with it disabled. When I posted my feedback none of the Hoosier guys could relate Now years later people with heavily modified TT Mustangs are having problems, my experience was on a bone stock Boss, excellent tire.
