Default Got my Raptors

Only negative I see from cheap Z/V rated tires is the softer more pliable sidewalls. I guess I really don't care as I'm looking for hooking anyway. I don't slam turns on my daily commutes.

Having tech difficulties getting the pics to upload. I will say, they look quite a bit taller than a 50 series tire. May be because I'm so used to 17's that are 45 and 40 series. This may change my mind about being a 16" wheel guy. They drive great and I can't even hear them at highway speeds.

I'm old school, but one reason I'm a loyal 16'er is I like to see some rubber on the rim. Being a little taller and with a softer sidewall, they probably ride nice, too. My buddy has them on 17's with konis and prokit and his car still rides pretty nice over most surfaces.

I will say they are one hooking street tire. Barely get a 2nd gear chirp and no spinning in 1st from a stop or 10 mph roll. Very quiet highway tire. If I go 17's, I'll be seriously looking at the General Exclaims.
