Initial Review, 25,000 Miles on Tires
May 07, 2012

Best tires I have ever owned, by far!! These are the OEM tire that come on the Subaru STI, and Nissan GTR.

For my second set of tires, I made the mistake of putting a different set of extreme performance summer tires on my STI, and it completely changed the way the car drove and what it could handle... for the WORSE, and they didn't last 20,000 miles.

So for my third set, I decided to go back to stock. SO glad I did. These tires are amazing! Probably the closest you can get to a track only tire, and still be street legal. Yet they have excellent wear, too. My first set lasted 35,000 miles, and this current set is up to 20, and about half way through.

Tires are the most important easy driver controlled component of how a car handles and performs, so why skimp on tires. This tire is a large part of why the STI is such a monster. As far as I am concerned, nothing else on the market comes close. You get what you pay for, in this case, this saying is completely true.
