I don't know how comfortable I'd be driving the S with $350 tires!

Please let us know how they perform.

No way, did they offer to ship them up here gratis?

I didn't even think to ask to do that considering they don't even offer to sell them online. Worked out, I needed some crap in the US anyhow.

After doing a bit of spirited driving yesterday I really love these tires, they grip so bloody well its pretty comforting.

Still haven't had a chance to take them in the rain, but I suspect they will be really decent in it as well.

215/40/17 and 265/35/18

I can increase my choices significantly if I go to a 205, but who wants to go to a narrower front when youre already understeering more than you'd like?
