Customer Reviews
I haven't even paid these off yet but they're great.
Confidence inspiring, smooth break away at limit in the dry, I actually prefer them to the Michelin Pilots. Way better than the factory Dunlop summers that came on my 23 WRX.
Theses are great tires! I have a set on my other vehicle and my son's car too. These tires are ranked very high in Tire Rack testing as well
Grade A tire for my scat!
