They are a common tire I've seen with wheel/tire packages. I've heard good things.

I have them on my Mustang. They are a great tire for the money but that's with taking into account the fact they are dirt cheap. You can't beat them for the price though. If you want a good performance tire in the lower price range I'd suggest the Yokohama AVS ES100.

They are a good tire for the money but for performance I would get the Yokohama AVS ES100. They are like 130 a piece.

I had them on my ss wheels.
they seem pretty good for street and don't cost a lot of money.
I have 2 of them and 2 bfg drag radials I have been meaning to put on ebay and have only 1000 miles on them. my buddy wants to buy them from me. I gave him till feb 15th if he dosen't buy them by then they will prob. go in the for sale section. I had the two on my car on the front with a fresh alighnment and soon after bought some nitto's and then rotated the other two to the front. I got a set of bfg's a couple months ago and just got my cam done and upgraded to a set of mt et streets so now I have 4 extra tires.
if your not in a hurry to buy just let me know and if my buddy dosn't come up with the money by then I'll give you first dibs when I put in the f/s section.

Im looking for a combination of price and decent traction. I dont really drive hard is the thing and I dont launch much ( baby my car So I think they might fit the bill.

I and my friends have had those tires. They get hard and noisey pretty quyick. I would rather spend the couple bucks to get better tires. I have learned that you get what you pay for when it comes to tires..

I'm running these- don't like 'em. They don't hook up like my orginal Eagles did.
