I have those. I swear by them. I put them on last winter and never had any issue in the snow. I have dragged on them during 3 visits to the track and I got my 2.1 60' on them when I ran 12.8. LOVE LOVE LOVE these tires.

DWS is what I have ran. I got 25k out of them so that's better than the OEM. I forgot a rotation and I"m only replacing 2. Id say they should last about 30-35k miles. Decent traction and great weather performance.
