From what I've read they seem like the best option when factoring price and performance in??

I really dig 'em.....but I have to say "C".

They are a great tire, don't get me wrong. They look great on the car. They worked about 1000 times better than the Conti's in the snow and rain. They are right on par with the conti's as far as dry grip in the summer, if not a slight bit better. (lower the pressure a little bit and they are dragstrip superstars, as far as road tires go!)If those are your main concerns then I say go for it.

Now that I've had them on for about a year....they have started to get a little loud. My other problem with them is they pick up every piece of road debris that they can find. I've replaced the right rear twice now for picking up screws. They could have been patched without a problem, but I just don't feel safe at the dragstrip / dyno / 100+ freeway speeds with a less than perfect tire. If you get these tires, definitely get the road hazard plan!

Hopefully this helps!
