I don't get all the hate for the tires. They're a spec tire, which means we're all on equal footing with them.... so they're a GREAT competition tire. Multiple people drove my car this weekend.... one of them has a well prepped STX FRS... another has a well prepped DS FRS.... both of them thought it was fun. The tires give good feedback, they have a predictable breakaway, and they can tolerate being driven with slip angle. They just don't have the peak levels of grip that some of the other 200tw tires do.

I'm still dialing back 4 years of Hoosier habits. It's a BIG change from that level of grip. But I'm still really enjoying the feel of them... and DEFINITELY enjoying the price.
