Result: Would you buy again? Probably
Comment:
These tires are great at first, but after about 1000 miles, they start to lose their front-back grip, so launching your car results in wheel hop. Lateral grip is EXCELLENT, and turning is superb with these, but they are not for drag racing. THey resist hydroplaning very well and grip nicely on wet pavement. Anything under 50 degrees -- watch out. They stiffen up and have NO grip in cold, snow, or ice.
