I tried a set at Coventry (astroturfed moon surface!) yesterday after the meeting and would say they slide similar to Balistics and have forward drive simialr to Yellow minis so a good alrounder, kind of the jack of all trades - master of none (Yellows would definitely be quicker if you could hang on to them, Ballistics would be easier to drive).
It was interesting to note though that you could really feel the extra rolling radius in quick direction changes .. car felt a little less stable than either yellows or ballistics had on the same section .... probably just a matter of resetting ride heights which is what I would have done next if I hadn't had to give them back.

The most interesting thing for me was the total lack of any wear (they had been on a lot of cars and done a lot of laps before I got my turn with them). I think this makes them just about the perfect practice /club tire as they give near enough representative performance campared to what you would normally run at an important meeting BUT would last a hell of a lot longer. Personally I think I will be sticking with yellows & ballistics for regionals though.

I'll be ordering a couple of sets for sure.
