    Check out the reviews also at The Tire Rack.com.
    Those are pretty helpful too.
    I personally think that when anyone gets into this level of tire, there probably aren't too many that are bad.

    Thumbs up

    I recently put a set on my '98 Camaro B4C/Z28. They ride real good, great grip and low noise factor. I have not had to drive in wet roads with them yet.

    All the forums I read about them say they are great tires. I read Ford, Mopar and Chevy sites plus TireRack.

    I've got 'em and I love 'em. I even used them at the Kenny Brown racing event at Putnam Park. They held up great (the member next to me, who will have to identify themselves because I won't, found his Nitto's ground down to near nothing after a day at the track).

    These were on my Marauder when I bought it and they were great tires. I went back to BFGoodrich for the winter however since these are summer tires.

    Due to the design of the tread with all water being directed to the center they are noisy in the rain as the water being thrown off them focuses on a small area of the inner fender liner.
