I've heard of them... There was a thread posted on here a while back about them.

They're supposedly VERY good tires for the price, however I've never personally seen anyone running with them. Reviews for them seem to be consistently good though.

I've seen a couple of Cayenne's, 911's and Audi S4's rockin' em so if it's good enough for those cars then it'll definitely more than enough for my car...

Sharp tread pattern but kinda looks like they wouldn't funnel water out very well. All the tread cuts end inside the tire instead of funneling out and away.

I'll stick with my Michelins.

They are proven to be good tires. Not only on the street, but in autoracing too.
