Yes . this is new technology that is claimed to bridges the gap between a radial and bias ply . They seem to work on a marginal track like a bias and recover just as well .

I plan to get some and give them a shot, if I can get mine out again before the season is over.

The way I hear it is Cooper bought M/T and Cooper has a state of the art manufacturing facility here in the US and a lot of that technology is spilling over into the race tires . Not sure if this is fact or not .
Mine will be here by wed . Going to test Friday and then try and defend the National dragster challenge sat.
