Gonna try them again this weekend and see if I can get them to start working. I do have my nationals set of Falkens at this point at least :P

I had a different result with my test between Nankang and Falken this weekend. I was 0.2 sec quicker on the CR-1 and the local national champs were 0.5 sec quicker on the CR-1. Wheels were the same(18x11), tires the same size(315/30R18), each driver alternated between the tires in the morning and then the afternoon(2runs each tire in am and pm).
The CR-1s seem to need more camber to wear more even. I had one Falken start to delaminate on the left front on a left turn heavy course. Less than 12 miles on the tire(12-0.8mi laps). Their date code is 2nd week of 21.
