With you being from Chi I'd like to warn out on driving those tires in cold weather. I couldnt get traction with em when it was below 45 outside with my old mustang and could consistently lock em up light bracking in cold weather with dry roads. The rubber becomes almost like a roack on em, BUT as for a summer tire they are vry nice.
You are in for a treat when it rains, you almost wont belive how good they grip.
