The tackiness reminds me of the Pirelli Supercorsa SP motorcycle tires, which are pretty good, non-warmer track tires.
Well, since I run Pilot Powers on my Ducati I can't speak to the Pirelli comparison but I have no problems with the Mavic tires. I can't speak to longevity yet but they do everything I need them to do.
