well with the sawblades i don't feel the road as much, but traction sucks. Good burnout wheels, as they don't get any traction, but tires smoke up real nice.

Ive actually spent the $ on decent tires for the 'blades, and compared to some 18's theyre nowhere near as grippy, but theres not much i cant do with them. And the comfort > all.

The ride is good...the handling was better when i had my Toyo proxes on them. The 18's are a lil rougher....but it handles mint

traction all depends on the tire you have. just had a snow storm all day on thursday, about 6 inches, and the traction on my tires were great. love the sawblades for the winter because the tire on my 18's have NO traction or a N/A rating in the snow!

handling on the sawblades isnt so great, but they do a fine job for daily driving

needless to say my 17" proxes 4's have alot more traction anywhere than my sawblades do with their all season 15" Tiger Paws. Plus they have a few nails and bubbles in them.
