They don't look too bad, let us know if they have any trouble moutning/balancing and whether they have road noise or not.

I've never heard of them. Maybe someone can chime in because I need new tires for daily driving.

seriously, dont try them man. even if they are good tires, you know they arent gonna hook. Just get some nittos. my 315s were only 330 for the pair..

I would love 315's but I got a 9.5 wheel...



I would get nittos but I dont wanna get in an accident if im on the highway while its raining, etc.

I REALLY REALLY like BFG Gforce KDW2's but they are made in weird sizes.

I couldn't say if they're any good, but I refuse to try no-name tires. Tires are one of the most important parts on a car, and if I don't have complete confidence in them, they aren't going on mine. For the price, sure you'll save a little from what you may save by buying some known brand, but you could be wasting $200 on a pair that is questionable too.

DR's are scary in the rain. I would go ~30 in the rain. but then again i had bfgs which are worse then nittos in the rain.
