Bought a set for my DD, a Mazdaspeed6, but I haven't mounted them yet. They were rated very highly rated in tests done by Tire Rack and Car&Driver. I'll give an update when I've mounted them. The OEM tires aren't quite gone yet!

I have them on my 98 M3 sedan. Good tires and they ranked well (better than PS2) in a recent Car & Driver. Overall, great tire for the money.

I have. bought them to save a new set of PSC's from standing for 2 months during shipping back to germany. after alignment and wearing them down about 1000km's they drive very well. stable up to 300kph. no drama. took them on the ring in the wet and no complaints. i'll wear them down for street use and save the PSC's for next summer.

Thanks for the input.. I think I will use them for street driving rather than wearing the PSC.

Had them on my recently traded in BoxsterS - got a few 100 km on them including a rain day at the track. Very good in puddles - little to no hyrdoplaning. Obviously a lot more squirmy than the NT01's I was on in the dry ... For the price they seemed very good initially but I had limited miles on them.

In fact they are about to go on sale ... if anyone interested - 235/40-18 and 265/40-18 on Victor Turismo's (also new).

Had them on my 07 GT3 for 1 week. Removed them after 200 miles as the car was uncontrollable. Just to make sure, had the car aligned, no help. Spent $500 more and put on Potenza RE-11s. Unbelievable difference, new car. Almost as good as the PSC w/o the rough ride and noise. Throw the Hankooks away and get the Bridgestones.

Tried 'em on a BMW and thought they were crap.

If your just gonna cruise with them probably doesn't matter what you put on.
