This looks very familiar to me, and very good too. BTW this TTrac2 tire has really very good grip, even in the wet. The sidewalls are on the one hand nice and stable for controlled driving. And they are at the same time much more elastic than those of eg the original Conti. This results in a consequence for the air pressure.
I do not have to ensure the grip by driving very little pressure values as, for example, with the OEM Contis. After meanwhile 7 years with two sets of TTrac2 tires I drive the following air pressure: front 1.8 bar and rear 1.9 bar or even 2.0 bar on longer rides. This is a range where the tyre still rides much smoother than an original OEM Conti at 1.5 bar and the grip is still very good. Overall in conjunction with much better control in the curves. But of course try out what air pressure you personally prefer to drive. I write this only because many people would not get the idea to drive a 4/4 with 1.9 bar at all. I would definitely try it out...and then soften up from there if you don't like it.
One reason why this works well I think is that the tyre is so narrow. With a 205 wide tyre it would probably be a bit too much air pressure.
By the way I have the second set of TTrac2 not! for the reason that the first one would not have had any more good grip and smoothness regarding the rubber material any longer but because I had driven with the first set of TTrack2 very much in the years before Covid 19. The first set had lasted about 55.000 km with quite sporty driving...until the tyre was too much used (even after the change from rear to front) and therefore driving in the very wet had become too risky due to the worn tire tread.
