Fresh off the jackstands and ready for pavement, I took a small detour back south from Bellevue's Bel-Red road. Couple of stop and turn take-offs and the tires kept up really well. Since the roads were wet and it had stopped raining it wasn't too hard to spin the tires, especially with the ASC off. But that was kind of to be expected.

From the get-go the tires were VERY quiet, they made a HUGE difference in noise level and just overall noise from bumps in the road to the tires and to the cabin. They're AS and I was eager to drive on the freeway as well. Took 405-S the rest of the way and hit 80mph in the rain, no hydroplaning. Changed lanes no problem. Steering was very responsive from 1-80mph. There was one dry area by my house, kinda-sorta tried to spin the wheels, didn't work at all lol.

I've recently replaced the control arms + bushings (OEM) which helped a bit as well. However my shocks are still shitty so until those are replaced with some CO's, I won't really be able to fully review these tires. With 2/3 suspension problems solved, the tires have made the biggest difference so far. Once all components have been replaced I'm sure they'll work some sweet sweet magic together. :alright

Price? $780 out the door :)


Cliffs: Very quiet considering my blown shocks, no hydroplaning at all during 80mph rainy drive home, crips steering response (OEM-like feel).

I had P-Zero Neros on my Mustang GT............I liked them as well


And it may be $780 out the door for you but if I were to walk in lookin for 275/45/17's I'd pay a sizeable amount more than that:(:shifty

My parents 911 has these tires. I found the are great in the dry and grip very well but when you are in the rain they tend to get loose VERY quickly.
