Not bashing you JDLS6, many V owners looking for less expensive tire options these days, but cannot understand why V owners do not run with proven performance tires. The difference in price is lessened when you figure in the fun factor
. There are many performance tires available for under $200/each:

BTW, I have the Wal-Mart battery in my V for almost three years now, never an issue, and cranks it even when it sits for two weeks. Not sure who makes it, but damn reliable.

Agreed!!! The run-craps that were on the '05s, not RSAs, were toast at 5K miles on the rears. On my C6 I run Invos, and have a plug kit, can of Fix-a-Flat and a current AAA membership. May look into PS2 run-flats in the future, not sure of the sizes or the price, but I will never run anything Goodyear again.

my buddy that balanced these tires played hell with them! one dint need any weights zeroed right out... one took under 2 oz's... the other 2? yeah they called for between 6 and 7 oz's! had to move them on the rims a bunch and finaly got them under 2 oz weights each.... so far i like them.. ride way better than stock tires... havent had much time in the car by myself tho, i had 2 of my "heavier" buddys with me tonight (ones 300 and the others 260)..
my wheel hop isnt near as bad tho when its jsut me in the car... barks 3rd like a champ! time will tell i guess....
