Does anyone have these tires? If so how do you like them? I have a friend that works for firestone and can get me a good deal on them.

I love mine- minimal road noise and my Camaro handles great on them.

I had them on my Z06 rims. They are great tires, especially for the money. I had 15,000 miles on them and they still had plenty of tread left. They are great street tires!

replaced my KDWs with these and I love them. Nice and quiet, handle well, rim protector bead - no complaints.

I had these in a 295/35/18 size on the back of my z. For the first 3 months or so, they hooked pretty good, but after about 3-4k miles they did not seem to hook at all. This was on just a bolt on car, a4 w/ 3.73's. As far as road noise, comfort, etc, they were fine though. Once I got my H/C setup, I couldn't even roll race on these, and they had plenty of tread left! Just my .02
