had a blast earlier on after giving the car a good clean
it might just be the fact that i actually have tread now but initial signs seem that they hold the road very well
also much more comfortable on the road than the turanza's i had previously

I didn't think they were that bad, seem to give me fair warning before letting go...
If your really pushing the limits in the wet then you deserve to crash IMO
