I had a set of these on my Z the winter before last (no stall & 2.73 gears) and they did really well. Last winter, same tires but with a 3000 stall and 3.42 gears, zero traction in the snow. So I put the 2.73's back in thinking it would help...no such luck. I got stuck twice in my subdivision with only 4 inches of snow on the ground. (and my subdivision is fairly level) If you're thinking you can get by with these on an all season daily driver, think again. If you park your car in the winter and don't drive your car in the snow, you don't need an all season tire anyway. Don't compromise the handling capabilities of your car with an all season tire. Get something like a Goodyear F1 GS D3 and enjoy them.

I've had them for about 2 years now and still have life left. Multiple track runs, burnouts, and still going strong. Had them on my '90 Corvette first, now on my SS and when it's time for another set of tires, I'll get the same ones. Oh and I also work for Discount Tire.

I've had them for more than 2 years, and I really like them, I've treated them pretty harsh and they have plenty of tread. I don't however drive my car in the winter or in the rain, so I can only account for dry roads, which they handle great.
