Not yet. Using them as living room decoration until the star specs go completely bald. So far they are still holding up grip while bald and no cords yet. In the wet it's another story on bald star specs.

That is tempting. I was just noticing my GoPro case is badly chipped. I'm going to need to order a new one.

They aren't so great in the cold weather either lol. Lost the rear getting on the freeway today.. Didn't quite do a 360, nor did I do a 180 but I got pretty damn close.

So now I realize Fall/Winter is truely upon us. No more bombing that onramp!!!

Btw, www.onlinetires.com sells these for about $100 each in 17 inch... 225/45/17

That's cheap but too bad the customer service is super shitty.

Which tires?
- Star Spec = onlinetires doesnt sell them
- Federal 595 RSR = (is that what you are referring to?)

I don't see the point in needing customer service from an online tire depot. I did all my own research, confirmed they had they in stock (not backorder), and they were at my door in three days.

Nah the starspecs are a tire rack exclusive unfortunately.

I meant the Federals. Oh and when say customer service I mean the people that work there in general. They will process your order but it takes forever to get the goods, It seems as if you have to harrass them EVERYTIME for them to get sent out. If you leave it up to them expect a 2-3 week wait.

The prices somewhat make up for the trouble but I go through this everytime I order through them. On G35driver.com there is a whole thread about they're business practices haha but truth be told they aren't out to rip you off because they always come through.
