Problems

none had done by performance tire store that specializes in plus size tires and wheels.

Tips

goto a performance tire store places like firestone and dealers will have problems installing becuase of the low profile. *this is what a firestone manager said to me*

Thoughts

Excellent dry grip, average wet grip. Sticks like crazy the car is more racy feeling because of increased grip. But, the ablity to side is nearly wiped out. Only full throttle will cause the tires to slide or that or a forced drift or powerslide. Tread looks normal asymerical pattern. much less flashy than just released AVS Sport or Advan Neova from yokohama.

Other

Wear. Rotate tires i rotated like once in 12000K my rears hit the wear bars about at 11000K, and fronts are @ 40%. so far its been 9 months and i need a replacement. most likely i am going to use Yokohama AVS Sports or ADvan Neova.
