These are damn good performance tires(0.99g's) with decent wet weather performance. Don't expect a comfortable ride and more than 15k miles out of them... One of my fav tires though as far as performance is concerned. My favorite characteristic of bridgestone tires are their sidewall stiffness. Other performance tires are way too soft (Toyo T1's for example), but provide much better ride quality.

just my 0.02
