They are great tires, I am very impressed and pleased with them. Its been so long ago since i got them, but i think they cost me around $725 after everything was said and done. Not only do they perform great the look good doing it. also if you have an SS i would reccomend going to a 235 tire, it fits the wheel better and fills the fenders better and gives the car a lot better look from the back and gives you a little bigger contact patch.

They are 235/40ZR18 I didnt get the speedo calibrated, but it is dead on because I got pulled over doing 69 in 55 and I was doing it. I also passed one of the radars on the side of the road and it was dead on what it said. I am working with ADS to get some specially drilled/offset wheels for my car. they will be 19x8.5 I will then be running 245/35 or40/ZR19 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. The wheel are reall sharp looking and will look great with my painted calipers and slotted and crossdrilled rotors.
