well i have the htr-zIIs. good tires other than for traction. get loose easily, and not just the rears, on semi hard cornering you'll get understeer quick. but good tire for the price. have over 20,000 on em and they have about half the tread left

I have the same tires as you. They handle the corners really well. They are a great tire for the price and if your car is stock. Traction is definatly an issue with a cam and a 4000 stall on the streets. Oh ya, I forgot the nitrous
