Default Fast trax turf ripper tyres- any good?

i know these are allowed for use in the regionals but have never tried them. Are they any good? they seem to be a fair bit cheaper than schueys and ballistics.
If they work, when should they be used? eg surface, dry/wet
How do they wear compared to the others?
I know you guys who got the first lot of c4.1 kits had them included in the conversion so lots of you must have tried them

The compund of them is rockhard. I tried them at broxtowe and they worked ok, like schuey yellows but with a bit more slide they didn't last very long though.

They were the control tyre at silverstone

4wd they had loadsa front end and ya needed to remove loads spikes but were ok in dry

Same wiv 2wd tbh

But wen wet wasn't brilliant wiv spikes removed were bad so u need set for. Dry and wet

They are a usable tyre but just average that's all

I use mine for breaking in my diffs on my X6 and B44 on the road out front of my house. Just not enough grip for my liking but easy on the grip when breaking the diffs in.
