Really a sharp looking Roadster. Wheels & wider tires in back really set it off.

I really like the tread design and in my opinion they make the Fire look pretty aggressive. Also the price was very competive to other tires.
Very aggressive looking tread. Keep us posted on how they perform. I have the Mich PS2's and while I love the performance on dry roads, and they have been OK in rain, I'm going to want some tread on my next pair so that I have alittle more confidence in wet / snow if I have to be out. Also, let us know about road noice and shock absorb feel of the tires. The PS2's are hard and you feel the every bump. I don't really want a touring tire, but something in between.
Thanks for any future feedback.

I'm a new owner with a red roadster like yours, 05 with 32k on it. Love the look on your car. Time does tell, any issues or regrets with your decision and did you need spacers? Like to copy if you don't mind (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery). Would appreciate any advice.

Nicely done. Excellent choice and they look REALLY good on that Red Roadster!
I'll keep my TSWs for now, even though they are beat up a bit.
I DO really love the Hankooks though... much quieter than the Advans I had... even when they were new.
