About the tires, I really can't tell you yet, I just got them and have not had the opertunity to really work them. From the tire rack reviews they should work for my purpose, (auto x and daily driver). I don't expect them to last long, but most performance tires don't.

please let me know what you think of them once you have the chance to properly "break them in" because i will probably be using them as my tires in the very near future and plan on at least trying out autox.

Ok I did a bit of road testing yesterday, and I can tell you this about them. They smoke! emoji, Taking off from a standstill they light up fairly well, second gear they don't slip like my old hankook (k104's) did, this is at about 11-13 psi. Sharp (low speed)turns they seem to be fairly predicitable and I have yet to hear them squeel. I think that this tire is great so far. The sidewall is pleanty stiff @35psi, but as with all tires at an autox I still would advise changing your pressure after the first round. I will try a braking test today/tonight and see how they do at that. Overall from my first impression I would give them a 7.8 out of 10 (10 being a competion race tire).
