How does their cold grip compare to Azenis Sports? How long will they last bombing around at a track?

If they're stickier than the Sports, and will last a full season of Solo1 + Track days, then you might have a tire for what you're trying to do... But if my Sports end up being just about as sticky, then I'm gonna beat you on tires in the end, since mine won't have the big heat cycles from track at the end of the season.

Perhaps you should just look for a good set of track only tires that will last 2 seasons of track days, and stick to street tires for Solo1/2?

Oh, and another argument for me to use street tires all around is that I can use my track tires to get to/from the events, and swap out to the solo tires there... since I don't have "street" tires on that car anymore.
