Pros: Well priced tyre.
Good drift tyre in the wet. :bang:

Cons: Disappointing wet weather performance and this is when they are new so what they will be like after a few years has me worried.

Update:

Spent a day on an Eastern Creek skidpan Motorkhana and I can confirm that wet grip is poor both in traction and lateral grip.

I would not recommend these tyres.

I will never ever buy a set of those slippery, noisy, pieces of crap again!

I got the Bridgestone 593 (205/65/15) for 127 each and they are the best I have ever used.

It would be handy to know what you are comparing them to.

I went to bridgestone sourced 'supercats' from firenza st-03's. Less grip, less feel, less tramlining, less pulling with road camber. less smiles.

Goodyear tyres in general are crap in the wet .. no wonder those F1 guys cant race in it ..

I love the Dunlop SP300E's

I've found the new Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin's to be sticky as in both the wet and dry. At over a thousand bucks to kit the car out in 225/50/16 size though you'd be hoping they would be. They're a very soft compound so wont last as long when pushed hard.
