     I spoke to both Longstone Tyre in the UK and Michelin Classic
     customer support and they both said the same thing - the TB15 is an
     FIA sanctioned intermediate rain tire and shouldn't be used in the
     dry with high temperatures. They both said if the ambient
     temperatures are < 20 degree Celsius they would be fine, but beyond
     that they start wearing really fast. Both sources told me to go with
     the TB5R and predicted a tire life of 4-7,000 miles on street use or
     5-6 hard track days.
