Maybe it is because I am used to the ultra sticky, ultra low pro 20s on mine, and then I switch to OEM wheels with the LM-25s, but I think as far as performance and handling go, they are crap compared to my summer setup. They do grab nice off the line, but in roundabouts or fast cornering, they 'walk' quite a bit and sidewall flex is not much better.

Glad they are working out much better for you. Please keep us updated on the life on them in the summer months....
