thanks!

 

They are excellent tires. I had them on my GTI and are great in wet and dry situations. Love the tread design and they are not recommended in snow.

 

Hello,

I love these tires on my 2005 Limited. I have 20,000 miles on them now and still have plenty of tread. These are relatively quiet and the best tire in the rain I have ever had. That is a good feature for a short wheel based car with wide profile tires like the Crossfire. I paid $900.00 for a set of these compared to Michelin PS2s would have been $1100+ at the time.

 

I was gonna ask the same question, now all you have to do is think it and bingo! its answered. They are on my short list of tires for spring.
Thanks - Pat

 

i have two on the rear with 4k on them little louder than the stock but they work well u will be happy unless u want to pay another 100 a tire

 

Been runnin them for two years.
Fantastic traction in the rain compared to stock tires.

In Snow they suck....Had and inch of snow on the driveway and couldn't get in my garage...I took out the torch and cooked the snow off then backed right in...My driveway goes uphill.

Oh and I go through a set a season!(REARS)
I am on my third set....Of course I like ta smoke the tires alot and the first two sets I took to the track.I am running 275/35 on the back.

Oh and ya gotta love the tread design....

K.

 

Been running them for a few thousand miles. My only complaint is that they get a bit noisey over time. Other than that, they do exactly what it says on the can. Excellent wet/dry summer traction, stability, and steering response ... with a tread pattern that (in the 275 variety) looks like it is gonna rip your face off.

In the cold weather the rubber gets real hard and traction is comprimised, although the tires are still very predictable and controllable. I was caught in the snow once on these tires. I did make it home, but I had to ride the clutch into high gears often and the traction control light went out of its mind.

 

Got them on my car as well, front & rear. They have been great tires for as long as I have had the car. And the tread design is pretty sweet. These were on the car when I got them, so I can't compare them to stock, but I don't have have any complaints about the noise lvl. Mine have about 17K miles on them, and they are all within a few thousand miles of needing replacement.

 

Heres some fun ya can have with them!

 

I had them on another car and loved them. But they start to get worn - oh my god the noise was unbearable!! They just howled like a pissed off wolf, and under braking they were so bad I thought I had a wheel bearing going bad. The noise level really was astonishing.

Prior to that, though, I loved 'em!!

 

Now that you mention it....The noise from mine under hard breaking is extreme. I was just thinking it was time for better brakes

 

ok thanks everyone for the advice! they are on their way ! just ordered them, they are on their way!

 

Did you get a great deal????

 

well, yes and no, i live in canada and the tires here are much more expensive. went around a few tire shop and on internet and the best deal i found shipped here was 1200$ the rest were 1600 up to almost 2000$ so i think that i have made a decent deal on the tires

 

Good luck with your new tires.

Let us know what you think of them.

 

really cant go wrong with that tire

 

Isn't this tire of choice for SRT4?

 

The first time you put them on you'll be @#$%ing astounded. These tires turned my xfire into a go-cart and definitely improved the fun factor.

 

nice! anxious to put them on this spring! can't wait
