After 1,000 miles in 3 days (drove to San Francisco and back to San Diego) I can say:
Quiet ride
increased mileage by about 2 mpg
Slick tires compared to the Bridgestone or General (lots more understeer and I can now break the backend loose with a little throtle, never could do it before).
Have no idea about rain or snow yet. Nor wear.
What I do need is an alignment. My car has been perfect since I bought it almost 5 years and 70,000 miles ago. Now with these new tires, it pulls to the right. I switched the fronts to see if there was some radial bias, but nope, still pulls to the right. AARRGGHH
Anyone know a good and economical place in San Diego for an alignment????
