Just curious if anyone here is running these tires. If so, what kind of experience are you having with them? How do they compare to other tires of the same size? (Do they run wide or narrow?) I'm looking at 275/40r17 fronts and 315/35r17 rears.

Thanks

While I don't have them, I was told when looking into them for my car that they were the same or similar to cooper zeon rs3-s.
My car is a DD so I wanted an all season tire. I went with cooper zeon rs3-a, 275-40/17 on 17x9.5 wheels, and Nitto Motivo 315-35/17 on 17x11 on rear. I have less than 100 miles on them and have yet to drive in rain, so I can't say how well they will be. They are not even broken in.

Cool. Mine isn't a DD. I drive it to work about once a week if the weather is nice and go play on the weekends. I've been satisfied with my 275/40r17 nitto 555s on my 9.5s. Just was thinking about swapping back to my 9.5/11 setup for a change. I kinda wonder about M/Ts quality control though. Seems they sourced a lot of stuff to China. I'm a little disappointed in the M/T wheels I bought for my jeep. Poor casting so now I have a wheel that leaks THROUGH the center.

I have these only because they were cheap for the spooI, was running nittos 555r's and and picked these up. These MT's are way stickier than the nittos i recommend them especially for 315's for 150$

Have they ironed out any of the run-out issues they were having with their tires? I know it was an issue with the DRs. Really not fun driving and hour to and from the track with a set of new tires that ride like a dump truck on a brand new car.

So the street radial MT hooks better than a drag radial nitto 555r?
The MT isn't a drag radial is it? Or am I missing something

Curious on this as well. I was planning on running these for street/auto-x duty, but if they hook better than DR's that could save me money on a second set of wheels/tires.
