They are good daily driver tires. They are light, relatively quiet, and have decent grip/tread wear. The sidewall is softer than stock Bridgestones, so you might want to up the pressure a little.

I find them to be too soft for what I want out of my tire and handling characteristics. I thought the OEM 'stones were a lot better.

Once these are worn I am going with either the RE01R or the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec.

I've run these on my Benz for over two years and they were great. Not very noisy when new but can be noisy once they wear down but that's typical. I will also be running them on the S2000 for sidewall profile reasons. The Toyo T1R has a much more rounded sidewall which helps with clearance when one wants to do some extreme lowering.
