I have this tire on my 370z and so far they offer very confident control and grip while driving the car hard in dry and wet conditions. Plenty of grip for aggressive driving and a great balanced feel for drifting. Side note - I haven't drifted through a set of these to give a good review on the treadwear.

Was not to shure about these tires wen I got them for my 500whp mustang gt because I already shredded of a set of perelli p0's and a set of Bridgestone patenzas. In the span of about 4 months per set and the whole time i constantly over powered the amount traction the tires could hold so it was burnouts everywhere . but I needed a set of tires cheap and quick this time so I got the sumito tires an I'm glad I did by now my expensive name brand tires looked like drag slicks and you can barley tell I've even used the sumito tires there just right for a spirited driver I have traction all the time daily driving but I can still sling the back end around a corner or do a burn out at the drag strip wen I want to. 10/10 for this tire I will defenatly be buying theese again and again as I need new tires.

Bought these for my wife's 2012 Mazda 5. We've had no issues with these at all, and, it seems to have reduced a bit of the road noise as well (the Mazda 5 is a horribly noisy car, so, I'll take whatever I can get in that department). But, have overall been very pleased with these tires. Would definitely buy them again. NOTE: It made me give a rating for tread life and winter traction. I haven't had them long enough to fully rate the tread life. And, I live in Florida, so, I have not and will not have anything useful to say about winter traction.

I bought these for my 2019 Honda Civic Type R to replace the OEM tires. I daily drive my CTR with little to no track use but still needed a good spring through fall tire here in the midwest that still gives me confidence while spirited driving. So far I'm pretty impressed with these tires and for the price it is hard to beat. I wish the wet handling was a little better but overall I have no complaints. I just adjust my driving style accordingly when it is wet out. They are a great daily driving tire spring through fall and I highly recommend them as they are on the "cheaper" side but still a trust worthy tire.

This was an order to replace a damaged tire on my Porsche with the exact tire it was to replace , surprise you had it in stock so I ordered 2, price was very reasonable and even though I don't drive my Porsche often I think they will work out fine ! Thank you again for your excellent service . Michael Bauman
