What sort of wear are you getting / do you expect compared to the Bridgestone's ?

Grip -
wet - amazing. better than any other tyres I've tried
dry - good but not quite as good as S-02
Wear -
Harder than S-02, softer than Yoko A520.
Have lasted quite a with minimal wear, although although I haven't been on a track with these. Will last around 150% as long as S-02, I estimate IMHO.
Whats the story with your alloys? Why are they being replaced?

Don't forget the speed rating if you plan a thrash on an autobahn, something above V is I guess required for this car.
I think Tire Rack quote that a "W" rated tyre is for "exotic sportscar"

Oh and the local Honda dealer has just said my warranty claim on all four alloys has been OK'd, so I'm getting 4 new wheels!

Whenever I am after a price for tyres I ring these 2 numbers for prices as they are rarely beaten.
