Default awesome tires

had them on my old integra, they stick like glue. Awesome in the rain. I only had them on for one summer, then i sold the car. But they had at least one more summer left in them. Good value! Proxes T1-S

Default Great tire choice !! Tremendous grip, better wear than most, a little noisy on smooth roads.

Default best ive tried - more

I am running them on my s4 for two months now and I like them better than any other tire I have owned. A little less grip at the extremeties than my S02s but the tradeoffs are very worth it. Noise is nill compared to AVS and S02s. Grip dry and wet are excellent and my favorite part is that they seem to track really true - not grabbing all the road orregularities. I am running 245/35/18 and I love them. Rim protectors dont work though

Good tires. My only complaint was the soft sidewalls.

Default Hey V, good tires for the $. about $160 each.

I had mine installed last week.
Then took it to a track event at the Poconos. The tires were great.
Due to some of the runs, my tires got a little hot, but the wear was okay.
I love this because it is quite and grips well compared to the stock P6000.
I suggest you buy this due to the treadwear of 280 and AA rating.

Default Too many sidewall bubbles

I replaced them more due to bubbles than treadwear
