i lucked out on these tires... $350, locally, new, still stickered. they were on my shortlist of tires to buy on discounttires.com, but they were discontinued by the time i finished my research (about $600 from discount). then i lucked on the ad, locally, in the exact sizes i wanted. i could not believe it. 225/50/17 up front, 255/40/177 rears, fuzion ZRi. then, the local shop mounted them for $50 total!!! i stopped by today to thank them.
i am totally impressed after my one test ride. so much quieter than the BFG g-sports, night and day difference. good grip, but it is hard to tell as i think they still have the slippery new tire stuff on them. the car doesn't seem to be going as fast because they are so smooth and quiet. i got myself in a spot of overspeed trouble.
i misjudged my speed (105MPH getting on the freeway) had to hit the brakes hard.... the back got a bit loose...
