This tire has very good reviews on TireRack.com, so I think I'll get them. They are $83 each for 215/60/15. That seems reasonable for a high performance all season. I need a stickier tire to replace my Kumho 732 Touring Plus passenger tires.

Good response, very good dry traction, fairly quite, incredible wet traction. Their Unitaq compond means wet traction should be maintained as the tire wears.

Snow traction is not all that great however. If this is a big concern to you and you don't run snow tires there are other tires with similer perfomance that are better in the snow.

Check the thread called 'Post tire comparison tests here'. The RE950 is in the consumer reports test and the test on Clublexus.

I love my RE950s, but I run snow tires in the winter.

I have these and they have been good esp. in rain.
Make sure your car gets an alignment as I ruined 2
tires because of uneven wear that would have lsated me another 20k miles.

I just got them put on my car today. I could tell the difference over my crappy toyos by the time I pulled out of the parking lot. They handle really well so far and I can't wait to test them out more. Haven't tested them yet in the rain or snow. I got them for $99 each installed
