Customer Reviews
I haven't even paid these off yet but they're great.
Wet handling is confidence inspiring. The car always feels planted on both wet and dry roads.
Confidence inspiring, smooth break away at limit in the dry, I actually prefer them to the Michelin Pilots. Way better than the factory Dunlop summers that came on my 23 WRX.
Theses are great tires! I have a set on my other vehicle and my son's car too. These tires are ranked very high in Tire Rack testing as well
Grade A tire for my scat!
