Well I have had these tires on for about 2 weeks now and I have to say that I am very impressed with them.
The tread pattern is pretty awesome and the grip is insane. You can really feel yourself hugging the road even as you are accelerating through turns. There is no skip or hop and I have done a 4000 rpm clutch dump from a stop without any wheel hop. They really grab and I like them. I don't have my strut bars yet but these tires make it feel like I do.
I was worried that the wet weather performance would be lacking though. It rained like a sumabitch yesterday and I initially took it easy but I could feel zero skid as I was moving. I accelerated and noticed very little difference from my old tires. BF Goodrich Performance T/A. I didn't cruise top speed by any means but they performed very well at speeds around 60 mph.
Road noise is virtually nonexistant. My previous tires had that continuous noisy hum at higher speeds but these are much, much quieter.
One thing that I did notice though is that the tires are very soft. I already have a couple of very small tears in the tread. Mainly due to the very poor condition of the roads here. Since they are Z rated tires and don't come with a treadlife warranty, I can't really complain. I knew what I was getting.
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, I give these tires a 9.2. Like I said, I am very impressed with them and would recommend them.
