Had these installed Friday and have run about 100 miles on them, time for an initial review.
Cost: In 205/55R16, they cost $88/each + shipping from Tire Rack ($33 for all 4) plus mount/balance/state fees of about $80.
Looks: OK, not spectacular, but I don't really care.
Ride: Creamy. No significant change from the 15" snows I just took off. I was very surprized by this aspect. No impact harshness or noise over expansion joints.
Noise: Well, they're a bit loud, but I don't care. That's the price to be paid for a max performance tire, just crank up the stereo a bit. Much louder than the Kumho 711 Supras they replaced. I bet they get a lot louder as they wear too. Concrete makes them sing.
Grip: Seems to be verrrry grippy, even at their full 10/32 tread and with just enough miles on them to get the mold release compound worn off. I'll know more when I go ripping around the ring road at the local mall and run around on the back roads here as soon as it warms up out of the 30s again. Much, much better grip than the Kumho 711 Supras though.
Overall I'm very happy with them. I'll post again once I get some miles and real work on them.
