Thanks man. I love the pattern too, one of the reasons i bought them. I got a deal and Paid $125 a piece regularly $167. My rear tires are still good, which is good because they dont make a matching tire for the rear. No 50 series at all.
Could do 255-40-18 and 225-45-18 with these tires though.

That's a nice price. What is the treadwear rating? I bet it is higher than the stock rating of 140.

340 tread wear. So they should do pretty good. They feel like the grip 99% as good as the the stock tires

So i thought id do a update on these tires. I have around 2500 or so miles on them. It rained alot right after i got the tires, and they never hydroplaned. Wet grip was ok, but braking still remained strong. In the dry they are great tires. They are way quieter than stock and ride much better than the RE050'A. Also Car and driver did a test on tires and they game in 4th place over all, and actually out scored the Mich. PS2 in the Dry.
