Will I ever buy them again? No. But if you don't want to spend a lot they are not a bad tire.

sounds like a fair review!

I got about 18k miles out of mine (V12s) due to tire height being less than OEM. The inside has worn down to the wear strip whereas the outside has about 16 mils left before the wear strip.

I'd highly recommend getting an alignment done when going non OEM size/height.
