At the price they cost, I can understand they're not for everyone, but I decided pretty fast when I wore out my 1st set of Firestone Firehawk's that I wasn't cutting ANY corners on a $34,500 car when it comes to tires and brakes. Since I live in Florida, wet handling and road noise are very important to me. I'm sure if you live in other dry states and where you stash the car 6 months out of the year for winter, it's not as important.
It's a nice tire but expensive. As for what they're made for. Hell the GS-D3 was developed for European use on Porches, Ferraris, etc. High speed handling rain or dry.
