They're not the best..(Dunlop Direzza's) but for the money they're GREAT.

All of the attributes are better than the stock tires that came on our cars.

I'll let you know how they do after next months auto-cross.

Yes, without a doubt.

Those are the most generic of ratings/stats. Tire-rack gives a much more detailed info sheet/stats on the tires

Granted, tires like the Dunlup Direzza's and a few others are better....but for the money these were hard to pass up.

Those Hankooks are definitely a grippy dry weather tire. They're practically a D.O.T. legal race tire.

It went awesome. These tires are WORLDS better than the OEM conti's.

I ended up 2nd fastest novice. 1st fastest was a well prepared S2000. (Suspension mods, exhaust, etc...

However, he did mis-classify his car so there may still be a 'score' adjustment coming.
