I own the 512 and still have them on my car. I wouldn't personally recommend them to anyone, except they're really broke. The 512 is just like a 4 cylinder Camry. It works okay, if you drive like a grandma. But it's just that - lacking performance in every aspect. Dry/wet traction is just above average, but not for spirited driver at all.

I wouldn't be that kind as calling them a Camry. It's more like a 4-door Civic DX.

Have you all look into the Yokohama’s ADVAN S.4? I believe it is new to the market and is the upgrade over AVID V4s. W rated with 400 AA A.

Any experiences?
