Great off the line traction, handle well in the rain, decent traction in the snow and these tires aren’t as loud as people claim. The only down side I've notice is the side walls... I’m used to having a really stiff side wall and these are kinda squishy. For over all daily use these tires are a great choice but I think I chose something else for high speed twisty road runs.

I've been testing hard cornering on these tires and I've found the tire tends to skip at times I think dude to the crazy tread pattern. I’ve hit some corner at 75mph+ the back end of the car slides out just a hair...so be ready.

Deal. My wife actually needs her front rotors replaced (warped as all hell, just the fronts). Say $100 for both cars?
