I used those rascals based on a mechanic's recommendation. They work OK, but never really blew my hair back. Lots of squealing, which I never heard with the previous Toyo RA-1's. I got about 14,000 on the set before 1 got sliced by a utility-knife blade picked up on I-5. That's when I discovered that the tread was beginning to seperate on another tire. I switched to the Toyo T1-S, a great tire with losts of grip and NO squealing in the corners. That's just me, but I recommend the Toyos even though they're a tad more expensive.
