    Ye I had em on my old car. Thats not a bad price, but mine wore out pretty quick compared to other tyres I've had. Not realy sure how they were for grip and traction??

    Got em on my SV6. Being a hard compound tyre, they have superb grip in the dry but are have bugger all in the wet.

    My mate had a pair a while back. For there price bracket there pretty good. Good dry weather grip but not the best in the wet. Like everything you get what you pay for.
