Yesterday I finally got the tires in around 6:30 PM and rushed down to get them installed. I do wish I would have went with 205/50/15's instead of 205/55/15 because the sidewall is just a *bit* taller than I would like, however the tires do have a very nice ride to them. They soak up bumps a bit better, and the taller sidewall does not affect performance at all, which surprised me a bit. I wanted it a bit shorter just for looks. On to the good part. HOLY SH** these things GRIP!!!! On my way to work I took the long way through a very isolated area with some nice turns, a few long on camber turns as well as some nicely connected S turns. Before I would be limited by the grip of the tires and could easily get them to screetch. Now I am limited by the car itself. I honestly feel like I could get the car to roll over in these turns by the grip they provide. The very slightly taller sidewall is not noticeable at all. They are also alot quieter than the Kuhmo's however you still gets lots of road noise due to the lack of sound deadning in the car. They have a very attractive look to them and gives the car a much more aggressive look from the rear. The extra 10mm on each side is noticeable from the back. I realize that this is only the first day I have had with the tires, and I will keep you updated on them and how they perform, but a day one impression is WOW. As of now I would very highly reccomend this brand. I can't wait for it to rain so I can see how they are!
