I've had them a little over a month now, have probably put about 500 miles on them. They feel great, a lot quieter than the stock bridgestones that I had. I thought in the beginning that they felt like they were a little softer than the bridgestones, but I don't notice that feeling anymore when driving. I'm happy with them..

I pulled the trigger on these tires, and am pretty happy with them. I don't think you can beat the performance for the money (I paid $350 shipped from Discount Tire after rebates for 215 fronts, 255 rears). They are slightly squirmy when cold, but I have a hard time believing most tires wouldn't be on a RWD car.

Where in the world are you guys getting them so cheap? Just checked Discount Tire and 225/255 18" are coming up on their website at $780.

you gotta remember, 18 versus 17 i believe has a huge price difference. i paid 95 for the fronts, ea. and 105 for the rears. price includes mounting and balancing.

I had my heart set on getting a set of starspecs for my s2k, but man these tires are a good deal! I have them on my evo right now and like them. They were initially really squirmy, but that went away after they broke in. Since my S2k's mainly a commuter, I'll probably go w/ these tires.

i think for DDing the S2, these tires have to be the best bang for the buck. ive driven almost 200 miles already on these tires, and even before the break in period, im experiencing pretty good grip and overall driving experience.
