So far on dry conditions the tires do peel out alot and some road noise over 65 mph. going over 75mph with these tires is dangerous and i almost lost control of the car because the tires couldnt handle speeds that high. with the HP's i could go easily 100mph and feel perfectly safe and great handling.
Never thought id say this but BRING ON THE SNOW !

Same tire here but of the 16" variety on steelies.
In the first few hundred miles, the car was a bit wobbly and the tires were loud.
Now it's pretty much a quiet and comfortable ride. After the break-in, I don't recall a situation where I'd feel the car getting out of control me. Car stays planted but feels slower which is right. No snow yet but I've driven in the rain and on dry roads in both low and medium temperatures. I don't drive hard in the corners though. Rather be safe than sorry.
