So far I've got 2 1/2 days at the 'Ring (including riding there and back), a TD at Croft out of mine, and will be squeezing another TD out of them at Cadwell followed by a few road miles to finish them off at the back. The bonus is that they can be found at 130 GBP a pair if you search around, great value!
In all honesty no, I've never had a problem warming up the D207RR's and tbh use it as time to get into the groove again rather than dump it on the first lap. I've had road tyres on the track before (admittedly avons rather than metzler) and I *hated* them (but loved them on the road).
