I had these on my 02 SS when I had 18's. They were pretty good. I did not keep the 18's long wnough to see how they wear over time.

I had them on my colorado and loved them, but mind you my colorado only had about 180 rwhp. They felt great in hard cornering.

I have had two sets.(nitto 555R 315 35 17) First set wore in like a year after drag racing on them and daily driving 1 hour to and from work on them. So pretty good thread life. They hook up on back roads and streets but they dont do very well at the track. My next set of radials will definitly be Mickey thompson's ET streets

I had them on my 96 Mustang for about 7 years, they were great tires. Reasonable price, long tread life, nice and solid in corners, stiff sidewall. Not the best in the rain, worthless below about 50 degrees, worthless in any amount of snow.

So depends on what you're looking for. On a warm dry road they stick like glue and have good tread life, not good to use all year long.
