I had them on my Trans Am and they were great, but that was a 16" wheel with lots of sidewall.

Just found that the previous owner had ragged the hell out of one tire and rotated it to the back. I couldn't see because I was being a newb and the edges of the tire looked great. Middle is bald...

Depending on your needs, these are pretty decent set of tires. Especially for the money. I ran a couple of sets on my last car. If your just using for street DD and don't want to spend the extra $$$ for OEM's or equivalent these are good. If your autoxing/racing and need a dual purpose tire then go with something else in the max performance summer tire. There's a bunch of really good tires out there right now depending on what size your looking for.

They are working great so far.

I ran through a set and loved them. They were quite predictable and run well in the canyons. What I really liked about them, was when they began to lose traction, they didnt just drop off. it was a gradual decline in traction, vs some other tires that just go away. They didnt last me very long but I put alot of hard miles on them.
