I disagree tfrom what I personally have experienced. Ive had A048's that have done well over 200 hard laps and been ok, not great, but ok.

The slicks that I have used 'go off' after half of that and my Dunlop actually failed on me....at over 100mph round Island Bend at OUlton. Not a very nice experience! lol

I personally dont think that the extra money is justified if you are only doing track days.

A whole manner of extra stresses and strains are put on your car when running slicks that a standard' ish road/track car cant handle without hiccups.
