I have them. Too bad I've only driven them around the block so far. But you can't beat the prices! :pat:

I have about 2500 miles on mine so far. They balanced with reasonable amounts of weight. I have yet to really thrash on them, but they seem to respond well once you get a little heat in them. I also like them for the fact that there are a lot of 16" sizes available 255/50 mainly.

The price aint bad either!!!

I'm using them on the rear 315/35/17 good tire for the price not as soft as I wanted. Just ran them at Buttonwillow raceway.

I pulled a 1.9x 60 foot time with those tires in my Mazda with only a 205/55/16.

If your looking for another cheap tire that is in 255/50 look at the kumho ecsta supra 712. So far they work really nice. I've pushed my car in stock trim pretty good and they work very well. However they are brutal in the rain.

I also have them 245/45/17 and 315/35/17...they balanced out fine, are good looking, and priced very well. I felt better about buying them when I found out they are the parent co. for Dunlop...from what I hear, over in Japan Sumitomo actually sales more tires than Dunlop...I guess they cant be all bad!! That's all I got for now since I'm about two years from actually using mine....
