I agree that the Kumhos And other race tires are stickier than the A032 but to say it has no more grip than a standard hi-po street tire is not correct My experience is that the A032 falls in the middle. At Second Creek track ( near Denver) the A032s were almost 2.5 sec a lap faster than Yoko A520's(which I consider a pretty good dry street tire) but were almost 2 sec/ slower than the Goodrich R1's. If you have to drive to the track on a "race" tire the A032 is the only way to go - I've gotten as many as 30 track days out of 6 tires w/ proper rotaton/ remounting side to side & proper inflation on my M3 coupe.
