I have them in 205/55/16 on my '95 Max SE. They're not exactly the greatest tires ever made, but they're certainly very good, and mine have been CRAZY durable. I smashed 'em up really, really hard in the city a couple of times -- as in, I smacked some bumps in the middle of a city block so hard that when I got to the end of the block, pedestrians on the corner who heard the noise were asking me if I was okay -- and they've been fine (thank GOD). Good in the rain too.

In combination with my Ksport coilovers, and even though I only have 205-section tires, it's more than enough to make my passengers crap themselves in fear. There's just no getting around the fact that going fast enough to exceed the grip of these tires is just freakishly stupid on public roads (autocrossing or racing is a completely different story, of course).

But yeah... very good tires, and outstandingly well made. Not great, but definitely very good.

I have them in a 245/40ZR19 for my 2nd full summer and they are very godo tires. No problems with them yet, and I am more than happy with there dry and wet traction, as well as road noise. Especially considering I bought them for $660US, you can't go wrong.

If I were to buy new tires, I'd definetly buy them again.

btw, I am mostly doing city and sometimes highway driving with them.
