One tire with the ability to conquer every drive? Look no further than the all-new TrackAttack Pro, says Hoosier.
The first iteration of a new product family line, the TrackAttack Pro is billed as being designed for drivers looking for the ultimate track day weapon.
Hoosier further explains that thanks to many years of experience building racing tires, the …
How many max effort laps can it run?

Hopefully enough to win HPDE events

Apparently they'll last just one max effort lap at Pitt Race

That's probably the best use for them. But make sure to bring 2 sets if you want to last the whole weekend. 😂

Is the wear truly that bad? I've been considering running them on my Spec Miata. I run a class that's limited to NA Spec Miatas on 200tw tires.
I am running 305/30R20 Nanking CR-S V2, and closely reviewed the Hoosier TAP, which should be available when I need to replace these.
The GRM reviews of the CR-S indicates, especially with a good initial heat cycle, the rubber holds out longer than the tread. On the other hand, initial anecdotes of the TAP indicate they don't like a lot of heat cycles. However, I don't know how they were treated or, especially, whether they got a good initial heat cycle.
Does anyone have more experience with the TAPs over multiple events and heat cycles?
Thanks!

Every performance tire review on GRM starts out with a description of how the tire is heat cycled prior to test day.
W/o spoiling too much of the story...
I am doing a long-term trends piece on several tires, similar to what we did two years ago with the CRS V2 and the RT660. This piece includes TAP.
I'll just say this...I have experienced none of the early cycle-out or wear-out that some have claimed. The tires are currently at 1/32 with very even wear and are as fast as ever. And substantially faster than they were in our initial test. We have never turned faster laps on any other tire on this car (though we have matched these).
Is this a big tire on a small, light car thing? Maybe. Unique to Harris Hill? Maybe. But I've also severely grained other popular tires (eg RE71RS) there so it's pushing the limits pretty hard.
Other factors: We always do a scientific initial heat cycle. This helps longevity. Subsequent heat cycles are milder than what some folks do. Our days at the track are typically a 45-minute street drive each way, book-ending 3-4, 10-15 minute sessions. And the tires are stored climate controlled between uses. Pretty much ideal care and feeding.

The anecdotes to which I was referring were from other communities, not GRM posts. (I would have cited GRM if that was the source of my anecdotes :) ).
