Anyone one try them yet?

Running GP-A 211's, pretty happy with them. Collin said that he thought you get a bit better life out of the slick.

Any thoughts?

Mike, I've been running the US n-tec slicks since Jennings. If you're talking about the slicks and not the DOT's. I ran a 200 rear at Jennings, then I switched to the 190 rear when I started racing in April. I've run four races at :20's and :19's at Summit with them including practice and still went out at Road Atlanta and did two practice sessions of 6 laps each on them.

Good info!
I went with a 190 rear US slick. Med/Med f/r

Did you run 211's before that? Any set up changes?

Setup changes? What are those? lol! I started 2011 with the Michelin DOT's, then the B-stone 003-r, then the B-stone R10, which I ran at Jennings for just about two days, then the Dunlop US N-tecs. I never changed anything but the tires. I do like the 190 better than the 200. I wouldn't mind getting a set up expert to help me out, I just haven't really had the time or the monetary resources lately.

At Summit in April, I was advised to run the Med+/Med, F/R. I did however start that weekend on the Med that I had from Jennings.

I may still have enough on the current 211's left to last through BeaveRun this weekend. The rear has a day at Summit on it but it looks pretty good. I'm going to flip it before Sunday just in case (and since there is not tire service with Euro Moto, at least that I'm aware of).
But I mounted the slicks on my spare rims and will bring them along just in case. Otherwise to Jennings they will go.

Kenny uses them. I can't imagine you will not like them. My guess is that they are very similar to the DOTs, less tread. Everything you like about the DOT's and then some...
