I've got them on the rear of my car right now and I think they're pretty good. They stick well and wear pretty well too. Not really noisy either. I'll be getting them for the front soon too.

These are great tires. I wish more of you would get behind them. One of the best balanced tires out there right now. I recommend them frequently.

I just put them on my wife's car this morning - they stick just like the old Goodyear F1 GS-D3's I had on her car, but they are a bit less expensive.

(FYI - Tirerack.com rates them higher than the F1 GS-D3's too.)
