I went into this not believing these tires could be worth a hoot.
After a few thousand miles, I am kind of shocked at how good they are, at least in the handling department.
One of the best handling tires I have ever run, I do know, they are good.
The downside, I don't see them lasting long, but time will tell.
I am pleasantly surprised, and with the limited options, pleased.
