Initial Review, 130 Miles on Tires
June 13, 2012

Going from stock run flats to regular tires I wasn't sure what to expect once I got into my car after the install. But, I have had these tires on only for a little over a week, but so far so good. Noticeably, I have no more torque-steer from my MINI. A big difference and that is by far my most favorite thing about these tires. Pretty grippy, good tread wear (they look decently meaty for my MINI as 215's) and not noisy at all. Going over speed bumps is SO much less harsh too. I would recommend these tires if you are looking for a decent upgrade for good quality tires, but don't have the extra $$$ for say Star Specs that my husband was pushing me towards (he has them on his M3). I really like them on my MINI.
