10 bucks for your rear tires.. for me to have some fun with in an empty parking lot...
I've got an offer for $50 and pick up on sat. If anyone can match the price but pick them up sooner you can have em. I want to trade them straight up for solreborns volks but i dont think he'd go for it.

Good luck with them, let us know if they get better with age.
Just like a woman....they have gotten better with age. Now that they are scuffed up a bit the traction is A LOT better. I doubt response wil get any better, but like you said....The price couldnt be beat and it really got good ratings for wet and even pretty good for snow. We will see.

Just got 4 M550A/Ses in yesterday

I looked for a long time for some good all seasons and these seem to be the best for the price

I think I'm going to let my s02's go a little more bald before I get rid of them
Let me know how they end up working for you.

Tires often need a little bit of a break in period. I'm not surprised these have gotten better for you. The only tires I've put on my S for the last three summers have been Toyo Proxes T1S's and they're always a bit squirrely when I first get them mounted.

Even my winter tires (LM22's) are a little squirrely for the first few miles after sitting for the summer, but I love these tires in the winter. I can't believe I've gotten 2 seasons and will get another full season out of them.

And of course, proper inflation is key. I once had some new rears mounted and found it to be SCARY to drive - turns out one of the tires was at 42psi, the other at a much more reasonable 32... Deflate to 32 = happy driving.
