I have a set on my 85 z28 and so far I like them but I bet I have only put 3-400 miles on them. Don't think they real good if your looking for a sticky tire!

my best friend has them on his z28 and he is pleased with them..they are gonna have tons of traction but they are a good average tire that will last a while with normal driving...might wanna check out the AVON M500..i just purchased them and am more than happy with them

I've had Riken Raptor 245/55/16's on mine for thousands of miles now. Can't easily do burnouts (~200HP A4), so they're holding up well, considering they're summer tires and they're not rated to last too long. As far as performance, well I couldn't say. I've got a 3.8 V6, but I did notice an improvement in (dry) everyday traction when switching to them from cheapo economy tires. Watch out if you get them wet.
