Anybody familiar with these tires? I just bought some wheels with these tires on the front two wheels. They seem pretty good so far, but haven't had a chance to test them out too hard yet because of the weather. I'm just looking for some feedback on how good they are, or what other tires they are comparable.

I don't know much about the performance aspects of the tires but I work at a Lexus dealership and those tires come on some of the new ES 300s. They wear very fast (5,000 to 10,000 miles and they are toast and that is on a luxury sedan that doesn't get driven hard) and are very suseptable to cupping (which causes a crap load of noise). I have Nitto 555's on my car and they are great as far as grip and they aren't too noisy. Not sure how they compare to other tires though.

A couple of my old friends used to have those tires. They said they were descent, but wear fast.

I run them on my car.
They are expensive tires.
They DO wear fast.
They look cool on the side walls though and have cool tread patterns. I'll keep buying them until the front's wear out and I need new tires.

good tires do where a little fast but they look cool, and handle well. My old set went about 15 thousand miles and looked great, but i had to replace them do to the fact of my car being so low and the alighnment going off. They started to get fucked up on the inside of the tire, everything else had tons of tread.

Oh ya im the one that sold you the rims and tires, they have like almost no miles on those front tires.

What is the treadwear rating on those tires that will tell you a lot. And do not keep the tires at max pressure probably 10 lbs under will do fine I had to learn the hard way with Bridgestone potenza's wore them out a little over a year, not cheap at all.
