It was perfectI purchased rims for my car and on a whim I entered the needed tire size on Amazon. Much to my surprise they had four of the exact tire I wanted. I had the previous model of tire from Yokohama and loved it. This is no exception. I have them mounted on a 2008 Honda Fit. There was an immediate change in handling. Where the car was comfortable and agile enough before, it now handles like it's on rails. The slightest move of the wheel will make the tires respond. Maneuverability has greatly improved and making the twisty turns on Mulholland Drive has become a lot more fun. Sticky and grippy, yes. They're even decent in rain. However, with no M&S rating I wouldn't expect great winter traction.I put these on my 81 El Camino. It helped with grip on dirt roads a lot.They were cheaper than my normal Pirellis, but they weared a lot faster despite having a better mileage rating. Other than that, they had good grip, especially in the rain. If you don't drive like The Stig everywhere you go, they might be good tires for you.Worst tires I have ever bought, they lasted 13,000 miles!!! My first 2 sets of tires on my car I went with Talon's from N.T.B. for about $110 a tire, just something cheap. I was going through tires fast though, about 20,000 miles. I decided to spend a little more and get 2 of these for the rear in August 11' for my 04' Mercedes C320 with 113,000 miles on it. (paid about $150 a tire from Amazon) At first they seemed to be working good, handled decent and everything, so I ordered the front 2 in February 12'. (got these from Tire Rack for about $150 as well) Took my car in for an inspection and cleaning to the Benz dealer in April and they told me I was down to 2/10" of tread on the rear set and 8/10" on the front set, and also the tires were noisy. At first I just thought they had high standards and were trying to sell me tires, but about 2 weeks after that I noticed how bald the rear tires were. Halfway through May I ordered 2 rear tires, Bridgestone's for $200 each, car has 126,000 miles now. Tire center that mounted and balanced said no abnormal or alignment wear present, just regular, flat patterned wear. These tires are absolute crap for mid-range price. They must be made from used condoms, because you just get f#@ked.Very nice tires. Great grip dry and wet. Only downside is they are a little noisy.I received the Tires in a timely manner and thus far they are working out perfectly.I’ve used these tires on my 928 and I’m very happy with them for spirited sport driving. Quality tire with good grip and low noise.
