I'm told they are an auto-x tire, if this helps any? I was looking at them and ended up getting the 555 DR's, i didn't want the stiff side walls.

yes but the tread wear is double of the 555s. I want something that will at least last all summer. 10k miles or so.

i ran those tires on my evo but diff size. verry good traction just dont get caught in the rain. i dont see u getting 10k miles out of them tho. they are a verry soft compound.. i run the 555 on my ta and they are holding up for over 12k miles with a few track passes on them.

You aren't going to find any reviews since they were only released 2 days ago to the public.
