I’m used to having a really stiff side wall and these are kinda squishy. For over all daily use these tires are a great choice but I think I chose something else for high speed twisty road runs.

I've been testing hard cornering on these tires and I've found the tire tends to skip at times I think dude to the crazy tread pattern. I’ve hit some corner at 75mph+ the back end of the car slides out just a hair...so be ready.
