I put them on my sister's accord and they are sweet tires...

definitely getting them once these Potenza's reach the end of their lifecycle.

the grip is better, nicer tread design and the wet weather/snow tractin is impeccable to say the least!!

very worth the $$$

bought

I just bought them. 225/45 17... I went a lil out of spec.. kinda wanted the lower pro tire if I ever lower it a tad...

Anyways, Yeah I like them.. It's rained for 2 days straight since i've got them and they handle nice.. and the brief time it was dry out they felt good too. Wayy better thn the craptenzs I think i have to much tire pressure right now though.. have to check it.

Where did you buy them and how much did you pay?

National Tire and Battery or Sears, same company. I have the Falkens on mine, only one complaint, they are noisy if your turning slow, kind of a rub noise. The tires are great, night and day from the Potenza. Chris

I purchased them from DTD for $412 delivered. mounted and balanced
for 20 bucks.

I don't think they are noisy at all.. good tire all around...
