What is the community's view on these tires: http://goo.gl/yE9E2
I have an 08 EvoX. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

I heard from a known autoX-er that testing showed them to be just a bit slower then those other top street tires people use for ST classes, but exceeded everything else in everything besides that (noise, longevity, comfort,...).

i have them on right now. solid grip, ride is less noisy and more cushioned in a straight line. for the price they're excellent, i'll definitely buy them again.

yep , they would fit just slightly shorter so speedo will be off but shorter sidewall...

Today i lowered psi to 36 on 255/40 18....The drive was amazing....Quiet as a 7 series but so responsive....I Love these tires....the stock advan was horrible
