Customer Reviews
amazing cornering and braking.
Best summer performance tire on the market wet or dry worth the money
Love the ride feel; side wall design. Too new to give tread life feedback. So, I keyed 4 stars but I think it’s safe to say that driving style effects tread life.
Very happy with the product and Staff at America's Tire.
Good fit for Porsche
