We tested them and they were very good in wet and dry. I have sold a bunch of them for the S2K. If I can help let me know.

So far I"m not all that pleased with the tires traction, seems to be a little slippery for dry traction, I have them in 215/245 config on stock s2k with suspension. I'm going to autoX this weekend and will be able to give a better summary of what I think.

I have them for about 7k miles and they feel pretty solid, I've driven in rain on the highway and and they have pretty darn good traction and so far, nothing bad on the canyons.

Def recommend these good performing tires esp with low prices

for daily and spirited driving you can't go wrong with the tires especially considering the price.

there's a 13+ page thread about it. i will post pics of my tires a year later when the rain stops...

I have 2 weeks on them so far, and prolly 1,000 miles. This weekend is the autoX so I will be able to say more on the handling after that. Thanks for the insight on tire width. I didn't buy the tires, they just came with the deal I got, else I would be on Dunlop's prolly.
