Well they hook like a *****, but will not last as long as a Nitto.

It's going to be hard to say how long they last since they haven't been out that long. They do hook great though.

I have them on my Z. You can see my post on here somewhere.
Hook wise they are a complete different animal than a Nitto. Not even apples to apples they are that much better.
BUT They are not really for daily use. I do drive mine daily and these are my daily tires. But I live litterally under 2 miles from work and do not drive in the rain. I have gotten stuck out on the rain and drove home at like 35mph. They WILL hydroplane as there is no tread on them in the middle.
And as for wear I only have about 1k miles on mine. Still look new, however the tread always has that pealed up look like a slick does. You know, the rubber that peals off and gets in your fender. In otherwords they are SOFT and will wear out FAST! I'm not expecting any real milage. But also I dont drive many miles...
