Yup, I've got them... They came on the car when I bought it. While they don't like to be pushed whatsoever in the twisties, I cut consistent 1.9 60's with them.

As for their performance in snow/cold... my car sits in the winter, but I did get stuck in a snow/ice storm when bringing the car home after buying it. They handled the snow, slush, sleet, etc. just fine.

Why don't they look the twisties? Sidewall flex or traction or ???

Any idea on mileage on them? Do they ride ok and are they quiet?

They're a "budget" all season tire, with a decent tread wear rating. Tires that excel in "the twisties" are A) summer tread tires; B) have a softer rubber compound, hence a lower treadwear rating; and C) are more expensive, due to the more exotic materials in the tread compound.

leadfoot4, yes I understand the basics of tire design and how they work... do you have any personal experience with this tire? I was wanting feedback from someone with actual experience with this tire and I was hoping demonspeed would clarify his comments.

I've decided to go ahead and go with the Cooper Zeon RS3-A... I think its a much better tire from everything I've read.
