Handling, durablity, noise level.

ummmm, high price

Summary:
Got a supercharged bonneville and drive like a bat outta he** most of the time, these tires still almost look new after 1yr. (i dont do intentional burnouts) Handling around corners is superior and noise is minimal. Driven in lots a snow, passing by 4x4's and all wheel drives stuck on the median or ran off the side of the road. :)

 2000 acura gsr w/ xgt-v4 tires

Strengths:
none thse tires are dangerous!

Weaknesses:
rain traction wet traction. about every kind of traction u can name it sucks at it.

Summary:
from the time i bought my car till now (8 months) i've always hated these tires. they break loose and peel out if i accelerate hard from a stand still, squeal in every damn turn, and have the worst traction ever! i had better traction on my 88 volvo with good year tires. these tires are a liability in the rain and snow. going 5 mph into a turn while there was about maybe an inch of fluffy snow and i slide about 10 ft and i jammed the wheel left to avoid parked cars on my right side, and the tires never had traction. WARNING do not drive even remotely fast with these deadly tires while in the rain. i have been into 2 accidents because of my damn stock tires! these tirese blow! i can't wait to get my goodyear eagle f1's. can't get any worse.

 1993 Audi S4

Strengths:
This tires only good point is that it lasts MUCH longer than a standard Z rated tire but you pay for it by having traction not much better than a H rated tire.

Weaknesses:
No wet traction. Poor handling at high speeds.

Summary:
For nearly $200 a tire I expected A LOT more from these tires but after 8 months of use I am EXTREMELY disappointed. Wet traction is not about that of a general stock tire. The tires constantly squeak and slip in completely dry conditions around most corners and even just pulling in/out of parking spaces. Save your money and get some Kumho's for half the money and twice the traction. This tire would be good if you want something that lasts like an H but has a bit better traction but beware... this is not a performance tire.

Speaking from experience in autocrossing I was much more satified (and feel safer with) Kumho 712's or some Yokahama's

Year / Model Reviewed:
 1998 Integra GS

Strengths:
Treadwear, traction

Weaknesses:
Price - they are the most expensive tire for the Integra

Summary:
These tires came on my car, and I have been extremely happy with them. They handle great in warm and cold weather, dry and wet conditions. I've got 68K miles on them, and now finally need to replace them. I'm certainly no Sunday driver, and would not have expected them to last this long, but they have. Will probably pay the extra $ and buy them again.
